Jonah 2:4
I said - With myself, I thought in the midst of my fears and sufferings. Cast out - Cut off from all hope of life, and as it were forgotten of God. I will look - Toward heaven.
2 And he said:
“I acried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
bAnd He answered me.
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
“I acried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
bAnd He answered me.
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
3 aFor You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
bAll Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
bAll Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
4 aThen I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again btoward Your holy temple.’
Yet I will look again btoward Your holy temple.’
5 The awaters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the1 moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my alife from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my alife from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
