^{1 2} And Jonah prayed to^▵ Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish,

^{2 3} and said, I called from my adversity to^▵ Jehovah, and He answered me; from the belly of hell I cried·​·out, and Thou didst hear my voice.

^{3 4} And Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the river surrounded me; all Thy breakers and Thy waves passed over me.

^{4 5} And I^◦ said, I am driven·​·out from in·​·front·​·of Thine eyes; nevertheless^◦ I will look again toward^▵ the temple of Thy holiness.

^{5 6} The waters enclosed me, even·​·to the soul; the abyss surrounded me; the seaweed bound·​·up my head.

^{6 7} I went·​·down to the bottoms^* of the mountains; the earth with her bars was over^▫ me for eternity; but Thou hast brought·​·up my life from the ditch, O Jehovah my God.

^{7 8} When my soul was·​·overwhelmed within me I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came·​·in unto^▵ Thee, into^▵ the temple of Thy holiness.

^{8 9} They who keep fleeting vanities forsake their own mercy.

^{9 10} But I^◦ will sacrifice to Thee with the voice of confession; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of^◦ Jehovah.

^{10 11} And Jehovah spoke^◦ to the fish, and it vomited·​·out Jonah to^▵ the dry land.
