English Translation
GOD
provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah; and Jonah remained in the fish’s belly three days and three nights. Jonah prayed to the ETERNAL his God from the belly of the fish. He said:
In my trouble I called to GOD,
Who answered me;
From the belly of Sheol I cried out,
And You heard my voice. You cast me into the depths,
Into the heart of the sea,
The floods engulfed me;
All Your breakers and billows
Swept over me. I thought I was driven away
Out of Your sight:
Would I ever gaze again
Upon Your holy temple? The waters closed in over me,
The deep engulfed me.
Weeds twined around my head. I sank to the base of the mountains;
The bars of the earth closed upon me forever.
Yet You brought my life up from the pit,
My ETERNAL God! When my life was ebbing away,
I called GOD to mind;
And my prayer came before You,
Into Your holy temple. They who cling to empty folly
Forsake their own welfare,awelfare Meaning of Heb. uncertain. But I, with loud thanksgiving,
Will sacrifice to You;
What I have vowed I will perform.
Deliverance is GOD’s! GOD commanded the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon dry land.
In my trouble I called to GOD,
Who answered me;
From the belly of Sheol I cried out,
And You heard my voice. You cast me into the depths,
Into the heart of the sea,
The floods engulfed me;
All Your breakers and billows
Swept over me. I thought I was driven away
Out of Your sight:
Would I ever gaze again
Upon Your holy temple? The waters closed in over me,
The deep engulfed me.
Weeds twined around my head. I sank to the base of the mountains;
The bars of the earth closed upon me forever.
Yet You brought my life up from the pit,
My ETERNAL God! When my life was ebbing away,
I called GOD to mind;
And my prayer came before You,
Into Your holy temple. They who cling to empty folly

Deliverance is GOD’s! GOD commanded the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon dry land.
