noyes@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah from the belly of the fish,

noyes@Jonah:2:2 @ and said: I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the underworld I cried, And thou didst hear my voice.

noyes@Jonah:2:3 @ Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

noyes@Jonah:2:4 @ And I said, "I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again to thy holy temple!"

noyes@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Seaweeds were bound around my head;

noyes@Jonah:2:6 @ I sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah, my God!

noyes@Jonah:2:7 @ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah, And my prayer came to thee, To thy holy temple.

noyes@Jonah:2:8 @ They that honor lying vanities forsake their mercy;

noyes@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.

noyes@Jonah:2:10 @ And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
