Jonah 2:2-9
2and he saidH559, “I 1calledH7121 out of my distressH6869 to the LordH3068, And He answeredH6030 me. I criedH7768 for helpH7768 from the 2depthH990 of 3SheolH7585; You heardH8085 my voiceH6963.3For You had 4castH7993 me into the deepH4688, Into the heartH3824 of the seasH3220, And the currentH5104 5engulfedH5437 me. AllH3605 Your 6breakersH4867 and billowsH1530 passedH5674 overH5921 me.4So I saidH559, ‘I have been 7expelledH1644 from 8Your sightH5869. NeverthelessH389 I will lookH5027 againH3254 9towardH413 Your holyH6944 templeH1964.’510WaterH4325 encompassedH661 me to the 11point of deathH5315. The great 12deepH8415 13engulfedH5437 me, WeedsH5488 were wrappedH2280 around my headH7218.6I 14descendedH3381 to the rootsH7095 of the mountainsH2022. The earthH776 with its 15barsH1280 was aroundH1157 me foreverH5769, But You have 16broughtH5927 up my lifeH2425 from 17the pitH7845, O LordH3068 my GodH430.7While 18I was 19faintingH5848 awayH5848, I 20rememberedH2142 the LordH3068, And my 21prayerH8605 cameH935 to You, Into 22Your holyH6944 templeH1964.8Those who 23regardH8104 24vainH7723 idolsH1892 ForsakeH5800 their faithfulnessH2617,9But I will 25sacrificeH2076 to You With the voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426. That whichH834 I have vowedH5087 I will 26payH7999. 27SalvationH3444 is from the LordH3068.”
