1. Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish:
|
1. Then Jonah H3124 prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 his God H430 out of the fish H1710 's belly H4480 H4578 ,
|
|
2. I called to the LORD in my distress, and He answered me. I cried out for help in the belly of Sheol; You heard my voice.
|
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 depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All Your breakers and Your billows 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. But I said: I have been banished from Your sight, yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.
|
4. Then I H589 said H559 , I am cast out H1644 of H4480 H5048 thy sight H5869 ; yet H389 I will look H5027 again H3254 toward H413 thy holy H6944 temple H1964 .
|
|
5. The waters engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame 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 sank to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever! But You raised my life from the Pit, 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. As my life was fading away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came to You, 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 cling to worthless idols forsake faithful love,
|
8. They that observe H8104 lying H7723 vanities H1892 forsake H5800 their own mercy H2617 .
|
|
9. but as for me, I will sacrifice to You with a voice of thanksgiving. I will fulfill what I have vowed. Salvation is from 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 vomited Jonah onto 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 .
