Revised Literal Translation

Jonah 2:5-7

5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Yhwh my God.1 2

7When my soul fainted within me I remembered Yhwh: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
