Jonah 2 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“I called ^H7121 out ^H7121 of my distress ^H6869 to Yahweh ^H3068,

And He answered ^H6030 me.

I cried ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768 from the belly ^H990 of Sheol ^H7585;

You heard ^H8085 my voice ^H6963.

“For You had cast ^H7993 me into the deep ^H4688,

Into the heart ^H3824 of the seas ^H3220,

And the current ^H5104 surrounded ^H5437 me.

All ^H3605 Your breakers ^H4867 and waves ^H1530 passed ^H5674 over ^H5921 me.

“So I said ^H559, ‘I have been driven ^H1644 away from [fn]Your sight ^H5869.

Nevertheless ^H389 I will look ^H5027 again ^H3254 toward ^H413 Your holy ^H6944 temple ^H1964.’

“Water ^H4325 encompassed ^H661 me to my very soul ^H5315.

The great deep ^H8415 surrounded ^H5437 me,

Weeds ^H5488 were wrapped ^H2280 around my head ^H7218.

“I went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the [fn]base ^H7095 of the mountains ^H2022.

The earth ^H776 with its bars ^H1280 closed behind ^H1157 me forever ^H5769,

But You have brought ^H5927 up ^H5927 my life ^H2416 from [fn]the pit ^H7845, O Yahweh ^H3068 my God ^H430.

“While my soul was fainting ^H5848 within me,

I remembered ^H2142 Yahweh ^H3068,

And my prayer ^H8605 came ^H935 to You,

To Your holy ^H6944 temple ^H1964.

“Those who regard ^H8104 worthless ^H7723 idols ^H1892

Forsake ^H5800 their lovingkindness ^H2617,

But as for me, I will sacrifice ^H2076 to You

With the voice ^H6963 of thanksgiving ^H8426.

That which ^H834 I have vowed ^H5087 I will pay ^H7999.

Salvation ^H3444 belongs to Yahweh ^H3068.”

Then Yahweh ^H3068 spoke ^H559 to the fish ^H1709, and it vomited ^H6958 Jonah ^H3124 up ^H6958 onto ^H413 the dry ^H3004 land ^H3004.
