2:1 Then Yonah prayed unto YHWH (יהוה) his Elohim (אלהים) out of the fish's belly,
2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto YHWH (יהוה), and He heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice.
2:3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
2:4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy Heikhal Kodesh.
2:5 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
2:6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption,
O YHWH (יהוה) my Elohim (אלהים).
2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered YHWH (יהוה): and my tefillah came in unto thee, into thine Heikhal Kodesh.
2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
2:9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed.
Salvation [is] of YHWH (יהוה).
2:10 And YHWH (יהוה) spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Yonah upon the dry [land].
