Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah from the belly of the fish,
2 And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol h7585)
and said: — I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the under-world I cried, And thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
And I said, “I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again to thy holy temple!”
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Sea-weeds were bound around my head;
6 I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
I sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah, my God!
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah, And my prayer came to thee, To thy holy temple.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
They that honor lying vanities forsake their mercy;
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
