Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the fish's stomach.
Then prayed Jonah unto the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 He said, “I called out to Yahweh about my distress and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help! You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called from the midst of my distress unto the Lord, and he hath answered me: out of the depth of the grave have I cried, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 You had thrown me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the currents surrounded me; all your waves and billows passed over me.
For thou hast cast me into the deep, in the heart of the seas; and the stream compasseth me about: all thy billows and thy waves have passed over me.
4 I said, 'I am driven out from before your eyes; yet I will again look toward your holy temple.'
And I thought indeed, I am driven out from before thy eyes: yet I again shall look toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters closed around me up to my neck; the deep was all around me; seaweed wrapped around my head.
The waters surrounded me, to the peril of my life; the deep compassed me about: sea-weeds were bound about my head.
6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed upon me forever. Yet you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh, my God!
To the bottoms of the mountains did I go down; the earth [closed] her bars about me for ever: when thou broughtest up my life from the pit, O Lord my God!
7 When my soul fainted within me, I called Yahweh to mind; then my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They give attention to useless gods while they forsake loving faithfulness.
They that guard false vanities forsake [the source of] their kindness.
9 But as for me, I will sacrifice to you with a voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation comes from Yahweh!”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed will I pay; [for] help is with the Lord.
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah upon the dry land.
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
