耶和华安排一条大鱼吞了约拿,他在鱼腹中三日三夜。Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
说,我遭遇患难求告耶和华,你就应允我。从阴间的深处呼求,你就俯听我的声音。And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
你将我投下深渊,就是海的深处。大水环绕我。你的波浪洪涛都漫过我身。For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
我下到山根。地的门将我永远关住。耶和华我的神阿,你却将我的性命,从坑中救出来。I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
