[1] Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly. [2] He said,
“I called because of my affliction to Yahweh.
He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheolⓘ I cried.
You heard my voice.
[3] For you threw me into the depths,
in the heart of the seas.
The flood was all around me.
All your waves and your billows passed over me.
[4] I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
[5] The waters surrounded me,
even to the soul.
The deep was around me.
The weeds were wrapped around my head.
[6] I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.
The earth barred me in forever;
yet you have brought my life up from the pit, Yahweh my God. [7] “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh.
My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
[8] Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.
[9] But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.
I will pay that which I have vowed.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh.” [10] Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.

I cried H7121 (QalPerf) by reason of mine affliction H6869§ unto the Lord, H3068
And he heard H6030 (QalImpf) me;
Out of the belly H990 of hell H7585§ cried H7768 (PielPerf) I,
And thou heardest H8085 (QalPerf) my voice. H6963
[3] For thou hadst cast H7993 (HiphImpf) me into the deep, H4688 in the midst H3824§ of the seas; H3220
And the floods H5104 compassed H5437 (PoelImpf) me about:
All thy billows H4867 and thy waves H1530 passed over H5674 (QalPerf) me.
[4] Then I said, H559 (QalPerf) I am cast out H1644 (NiphPerf) of thy sight; H5869
Yet I will look H5027 (HiphInf) again H3254 (HiphImpf) toward thy holy H6944 temple. H1964

The weeds H5488 were wrapped about H2280 (QalPasPtc) my head. H7218
[6] I went down H3381 (QalPerf) to the bottoms H7095§ of the mountains; H2022
The earth H776 with her bars H1280 was about me for ever: H5769

[8] They that observe H8104 (PielPtc) lying H7723 vanities H1892
Forsake H5800 (QalImpf) their own mercy. H2617
[9] But I will sacrifice H2076 (QalImpf) unto thee with the voice H6963 of thanksgiving; H8426
