Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 2:1 | And prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish. |
| 2:2 | And he said, I cried out to Jehovah from my distress. And He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and You heard my voice. |
| 2:3 | For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me. |
| 2:4 | And I said, I am cast off from Your eyes; yet I will again look to Your holy temple. |
| 2:5 | Waters encompassed me, even to my soul; the depth closed around me; seaweed was clinging to my head. |
| 2:6 | I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God. |
| 2:7 | When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came to You, to Your holy temple. |
| 2:8 | Those who observe vanities of idolatry forsake their faithfulness; |
| 2:9 | but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Jehovah! |
| 2:10 | And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited out onto the dry land. |
