Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you had cast me into the deep, in the middle of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all your billows and your waves passed over me.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
