Jonah 2
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
Jonah prayed to the Lord his God, out of the belly of the fish,
2 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)
and said: I cried out of my distress, to the Lord and he answered me; out of the midst of Sheol I cried aloud, and you heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 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.
For you cast me into the deep, into heart of the seas, and the great flood rolled about me; all your breakers and your waves passed over me.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
Then I said, I am driven out, away from your sight; How will I ever again look towards your holy temple?
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
The waters surrounded me, the great deep engulfed me, the sea weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 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.
I went down to the roots of the mountains; the prison of the earth closed over me forever. Yet you brought up my life from destruction, O Lord my God.
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
As my life slipped away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer reached you, in your holy temple.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
Those who worship worthless idols abandon their own mercy,
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
but I will sacrifice to you with loud thanksgiving! I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is the Lord’s.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it threw up Jonah upon the dry land.
