The Lord Hears the Afflicted

Jonah 2:2-7

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.

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.

And I--I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!)

Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head.

To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars are behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God.

In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.
