1 1Ch 2:2 in HebThen Jonah prayed to the Loʀᴅ his God AJob 13:15; Ps 130:1, 2; Lam 3:53-56from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said,
“I A1 Sam 30:6; Ps 18:4-6; 22:24; 120:1called out of my distress to the Loʀᴅ,
And He answered me.
I cried for help from the 1Lit bellydepth of BPs 18:5, 6; 86:13; 88:1-7Sheol;
You heard my voice.
3 “For You had APs 69:1, 2, 14, 15; Lam 3:54cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current 1Lit surroundedengulfed me.
All Your BPs 42:7breakers and billows passed over me.
Nevertheless I will look again B1 Kin 8:38; 2 Chr 6:38; Ps 5:7toward Your holy temple.’
The great BPs 69:1, 2deep 2Lit surroundedengulfed me,
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 “I APs 18:5; 116:3descended to the roots of the mountains.
The earth with its BIs 38:10; Matt 16:18bars was around me forever,
But You have CJob 33:28; Ps 16:10; 30:3; Is 38:17brought up my life from 1Or corruptionthe pit, O Loʀᴅ my God.
I BPs 77:10, 11; 143:5remembered the Loʀᴅ,
And my C2 Chr 30:27; Ps 18:6prayer came to You,
Into DPs 11:4; 65:4; Jon 2:4; Mic 1:2; Hab 2:20Your holy temple.
Forsake their faithfulness,
9 But I will APs 50:14, 23; Jer 33:11; Hos 14:2sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will BJob 22:27; Eccl 5:4, 5pay.
CPs 3:8; Is 45:17Salvation is from the Loʀᴅ.”
10 Then the Loʀᴅ commanded the AJon 1:17fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
