Jonas 2
1 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the whale,
Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.
2 and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and he listened to me, [even] to my cry out of the belly of hell: you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, [And] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 You did cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all your billows and your waves have passed upon me.
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.
4 And I said, I am cast out of your presence: shall I indeed look again toward your holy temple?
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to you into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
8 They that observe vanities and lies have forsaken their own mercy.
They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of praise and thanksgiving: all that I have vowed I will pay to you, the Lord of [my] salvation.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And the whale was commanded by the Lord, and it cast up Jonas on the dry [land].
And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
