Jonah 2:2-9

2and he saidH559, “I 1calledH7121 outH7121 of my distressH6869 to the LordH3068, And He answeredH6030 me. I calledH7768 forH7768 helpH7768 from the 2depthH990 of 3SheolH7585; You heardH8085 my voiceH6963.3For You 4threwH7993 me into the deepH4688, Into the heartH3824 of the seasH3220, And the currentH5104 flowedH5437 aroundH5437 me. AllH3605 Your 5breakersH4867 and wavesH1530 passedH5674 overH5921 me.4So I saidH559, ‘I have been 6castH1644 outH1644 7of Your sightH5869. NeverthelessH389 I will lookH5027 againH3254 8towardH413 Your holyH6944 templeH1964.’59WaterH4325 encompassedH661 me to the 10pointH5315 ofH5315 deathH5315. The 11deepH8415 flowedH5437 aroundH5437 me, SeaweedH5488 was wrappedH2280 around my headH7218.6I 12descendedH3381 to the baseH7095 of the mountainsH2022. The earthH776 with its 13barsH1280 was aroundH1157 me foreverH5769, But You have 14broughtH5927 upH5927 my lifeH2425 from 15the pitH7845, LordH3068 my GodH430.7While 16I was 17faintingH5848 awayH5848, I 18rememberedH2142 the LordH3068, And my 19prayerH8605 cameH935 to You, Into 20Your holyH6944 templeH1964.8Those who 21are followersH8104 of worthlessH7723 22idolsH1892 AbandonH5800 their faithfulnessH2617,9But I will 23sacrificeH2076 to You With a voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426. That whichH834 I have vowedH5087 I will 24payH7999. 25SalvationH3444 is from the LordH3068.”
