1Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
1And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah hisGod out of the fish's belly;
2And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
2and 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.
3For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
3For 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.
4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
5The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6I 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.
6I 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 myGod.
7When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
