2 And Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish,
2
3 and said, I called from my adversity to Jehovah, and He answered me; from the belly of hell I cried out, and Thou didst hear my voice.
3
4 And Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the river surrounded me; all Thy breakers and Thy waves passed over me.
4
5 And I said, I am driven out from in front of Thine eyes; nevertheless I will look again toward the temple of Thy holiness.
5
6 The waters enclosed me, even to the soul; the abyss surrounded me; the seaweed bound up my head.
6
7 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was over me for eternity; but Thou hast brought up my life from the ditch, O Jehovah my God.
7
8 When my soul was overwhelmed within me I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into the temple of Thy holiness.

9 They who keep fleeting vanities forsake their own mercy.
9
10 But I will sacrifice to Thee with the voice of confession; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.

11 And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah to the dry land.
