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