|
|
2. and said, "I called out to the LORD from my distress, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help, and you heard my prayer.
|
2. And said H559 , I cried H7121 by reason of mine affliction H4480 H6869 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , and he heard H6030 me ; out of the belly H4480 H990 of hell H7585 cried H7768 I, and thou heardest H8085 my voice H6963 .
|
|
3. You threw me into the deep waters, into the middle of the sea; the ocean current engulfed me; all the mighty waves you sent swept over me.
|
3. For thou hadst cast H7993 me into the deep H4688 , in the midst H3824 of the seas H3220 ; and the floods H5104 compassed me about H5437 : all H3605 thy billows H4867 and thy waves H1530 passed H5674 over H5921 me.
|
|
4. I thought I had been banished from your sight, that I would never again see your holy temple!

5. Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
|
5. The waters H4325 compassed me about H661 , even to H5704 the soul H5315 : the depth H8415 closed me round about H5437 , the weeds H5488 were wrapped H2280 about my head H7218 .
|
|
6. I went down to the very bottoms of the mountains; the gates of the netherworld barred me in forever; but you brought me up from the Pit, O LORD, my God.
|
6. I went down H3381 to the bottoms H7095 of the mountains H2022 ; the earth H776 with her bars H1280 was about H1157 me forever H5769 : yet hast thou brought up H5927 my life H2416 from corruption H4480 H7845 , O LORD H3068 my God H430 .
|
|
7. When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the LORD, and my prayer came to your holy temple.
|
7. When my soul H5315 fainted H5848 within H5921 me I remembered H2142 H853 the LORD H3068 : and my prayer H8605 came in H935 unto H413 thee, into H413 thine holy H6944 temple H1964 .
|
|
8. Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.
|
8. They that observe H8104 lying H7723 vanities H1892 forsake H5800 their own mercy H2617 .
|
|
9. But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration of praise; I will surely do what I have promised. Salvation belongs to the LORD!"
|
9. But I H589 will sacrifice H2076 unto thee with the voice H6963 of thanksgiving H8426 ; I will pay H7999 that that H834 I have vowed H5087 . Salvation H3444 is of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. Then the LORD commanded the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.

10. And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto the fish H1709 , and it vomited out H6958 H853 Jonah H3124 upon H413 the dry H3004 land .
