Jonah Chapter 2

Young's Literal Translation

   1: And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
   2: And 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.
   3: When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
   4: And I -- I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
   5: Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
   6: To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars [are] behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.
   7: In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
   8: Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake.
   9: And I -- with a voice of thanksgiving -- I sacrifice to Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of Jehovah.
   10: And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on the dry land.
