Then Yonah davened unto Hashem Elohav from out of the dagʼs belly, And said,

I cried by reason of mine tzoros unto Hashem,

He heard me;

out of the belly of Sheol cried I,

and Thou heardest my voice.

For Thou hadst cast me into the deep,

in the midst of the yamim (seas);

and the current swirled about me;

all Thy billows and Thy waves

passed over me.

Then I said:

I am cast out of Thy sight;

yet I will look again

toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

The mayim compassed me about, even to the nefesh;

the depth closed me round about,

the seaweed were wrapped about my head.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;

ha'aretz with her bars closed behind me l'olam;

yet hast Thou brought up my life from shachat (corruption),(a)2:7 See Ps 16:10

Hashem Elohai.

When my nefesh fainted within me,

I remembered Hashem;

and my tefillah came unto Thee,

into Thine Heikhal Kodesh.

They that observe lying vanities

forsake their own chesed.

But I will sacrifice unto Thee

with the voice of todah;

I will pay that which I have vowed.

Yeshu'ah (Salvation) is from Hashem.

And Hashem spoke unto HaDag (The Fish), and it vomited out Yonah upon the yabashah (dry land).
