Jonah 2:2-9

2And saidH559, I criedH7121 by reason of mine afflictionH6869 unto YhwhH3068, and he heardH6030 me; out of the bellyH990 of hellH7585 criedH7768 I, and thou heardestH8085 my voiceH6963.12

3For thou hadst castH7993 me into the deepH4688, in the midstH3824 of the seasH3220; and the floodsH5104 compassedH5437 me about: all thy billowsH4867 and thy wavesH1530 passed overH5674 me.3

4Then I saidH559, I am cast outH1644 of thy sightH5869; yet I will lookH5027 againH3254 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964.

5The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.

6I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O YhwhH3068 my GodH430.45

7When my soulH5315 faintedH5848 within me I rememberedH2142 YhwhH3068: and my prayerH8605 came inH935 unto thee, into thine holyH6944 templeH1964.

8They that observeH8104 lyingH7723 vanitiesH1892 forsakeH5800 their own mercyH2617.

9But I will sacrificeH2076 unto thee with the voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426; I will payH7999 that that I have vowedH5087. SalvationH3444 is of YhwhH3068.
