1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.

1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.

1Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,

1And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.

2And 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.

2And 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.

2In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

2And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice.

3For 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.

3For 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.

3For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.

3When Thou dost cast me <FI>into<Fi> the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.

4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

4And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?

4And I--I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)

5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.

5The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.

5Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.

6I 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.

6I 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.

6I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.

6To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars <FI>are<Fi> behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.

7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.

7When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.

7In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.

8They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

8They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.

8The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.

8Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.

9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.

9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.

9But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.

9And I--with a voice of thanksgiving--I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation <FI>is<Fi> of Jehovah.

10And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

10And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.

10And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
