And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
You threw me into the ocean depths,
and I sank down to the heart of the sea.
The mighty waters engulfed me;
I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
and I sank down to the heart of the sea.
The mighty waters engulfed me;
I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
Then I said, ‘O LORD, you have driven me from your presence.
Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
“I sank beneath the waves,
and the waters closed over me.
Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.
I was imprisoned in the earth,
whose gates lock shut forever.
But you, O LORD my God,
snatched me from the jaws of death!
I was imprisoned in the earth,
whose gates lock shut forever.
But you, O LORD my God,
snatched me from the jaws of death!
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
As my life was slipping away,
I remembered the LORD.
And my earnest prayer went out to you
in your holy Temple.
I remembered the LORD.
And my earnest prayer went out to you
in your holy Temple.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Those who worship false gods
turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
turn their backs on all God’s mercies.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise,
and I will fulfill all my vows.
For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
and I will fulfill all my vows.
For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.”
