³ For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

⁷ Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

⁵⁴ Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

¹ > Save me, God, For the waters have come up to my neck!

² I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and don't let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁵ Don't let the flood waters overwhelm me, Neither let the deep swallow me up. Don't let the pit shut its mouth on me.

⁵ Set apart among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

⁶ You have laid me in the lowest pit, In the darkest depths.

⁷ Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.

⁸ You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.

¹² He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you."

¹³ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.

¹⁴ Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."

¹⁵ So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.

¹⁶ Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.
