1Jonah <03124> prayed <06419> to <0413> the Lord <03068> his God <0430> from the stomach <04578> of the fish <01710>
2and said <0559>, “I called <07121> out to <0413> the Lord <03068> from my distress <06869>, and he answered <06030> me; from the belly <0990> of Sheol <07585> I cried out for help <07768>, and you heard <08085> my prayer <06963>.
3You threw <07993> me into the deep <04688> waters, into the middle <03824> of the sea <03220>; the ocean current <05104> engulfed <05437> me; all <03605> the mighty waves <01530> <04867> you sent swept over <05674> me.
4I <0589> thought <0559> I had been banished <01644> from <05048> your sight <05869>, that I would never again <03254> see <05027> your holy <06944> temple <01964>!
5Water <04325> engulfed <0661> me up to my neck <05315>; the deep <08415> ocean surrounded <05437> me; seaweed <05488> was wrapped around <02280> my head <07218>.
6I went down <03381> to the very bottoms <07095> of the mountains <02022>; the gates <01280> of the netherworld <0776> barred me in <01157> forever <05769>; but you brought <05927> me <02416> up <05927> from the Pit <07845>, O Lord <03068>, my God <0430>.
7When my life <05315> was ebbing <05848> away, I called out <02142> to the Lord <03069>, and my prayer <08605> came <0935> to <0413> your holy <06944> temple <01964>.
8Those who worship <08104> worthless <07723> idols <01892> forfeit <05800> the mercy <02617> that could be theirs.
9But as for me, I <0589> promise to offer a sacrifice <02076> to you with a public declaration <06963> of praise <08426>; I will surely do <07999> what I have promised <05087>. Salvation <03444> belongs to the Lord <03068>!”
10Then the Lord <03068> commanded <0559> the fish <01709> and it disgorged <06958> Jonah <03124> on <0413> dry land <03004>.
