Yonah 2:4-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. (2:5) Then I said, I am cast out of Thy sight; yet I will look again toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh.

5. (2:6) The mayim compassed me about, even to the nefesh; the depth closed me round about, the seaweed were wrapped about my head.

6. (2:7) 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; see Ps 16:10), Hashem Elohai.

7. (2:8) When my nefesh fainted within me, I remembered Hashem; and my tefillah came unto Thee, into Thine Heikhal Kodesh.

8. (2:9) They that observe lying vanities forsake their own chesed.
