And they will call to Jehovah, and say, Ah, now, O Jehovah, not now shall we perish for the soul of this man, and thou wilt not give upon us innocent blood: for thou Jehovah didst as thou pleased.

The waters encompassed me even to the soul: the deep will surround me, the sedge was bound to my head.

In my soul fainting upon me I remembered Jehovah: and my prayers will come in to thee to thy holy temple.

And now, O Jehovah, take now my soul from me, for it is good for me to die rather than for me to live.

And it will be as the sun rose, and God will appoint a sultry east wind; and the sun struck upon the head of Jonah, and he will faint, and he will ask his soul to die, and say, It is good for me to die rather than live.
