1. And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of the fish.
2. And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice.
3. When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me.
4. And I--I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)
5. Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.
