< Jonah 2 >

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly.
Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
2 And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
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)
3 For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows passed over me.
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.
4 And I said: 'I am cast out from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.
Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
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.
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple.
When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
8 They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
9 But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.
But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
10 And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
