MSG ^(1-9)Then Jonah prayed to his God from the belly of the fish.
  He prayed:
  “In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God.
  He answered me.
From the belly of the grave I cried, ‘Help!’
  You heard my cry.
You threw me into ocean’s depths,
  into a watery grave,
With ocean waves, ocean breakers
  crashing over me.
I said, ‘I’ve been thrown away,
  thrown out, out of your sight.
I’ll never again lay eyes
  on your Holy Temple.’
Ocean gripped me by the throat.
  The ancient Abyss grabbed me and held tight.
My head was all tangled in seaweed
  at the bottom of the sea where the mountains take root.
I was as far down as a body can go,
  and the gates were slamming shut behind me forever—
Yet you pulled me up from that grave alive,
  O God, my God!
When my life was slipping away,
  I remembered God,
And my prayer got through to you,
  made it all the way to your Holy Temple.
Those who worship hollow gods, god-frauds,
  walk away from their only true love.
But I’m worshiping you, God,
  calling out in thanksgiving!
And I’ll do what I promised I’d do!
  Salvation belongs to God!”

וַ⁠אֲנִ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,cast,me deep in/on/at/with,heart seas and,current surrounded,me all/each/any/every breakers,your and,billows,your over,me passed )

But I shows that there is a contrast between the actions of Yahweh, which Jonah had just talked about, and his own response, which he will talk about now. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “On my part”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִגְרַ֖שְׁתִּי

(Some words not found in UHB: and,cast,me deep in/on/at/with,heart seas and,current surrounded,me all/each/any/every breakers,your and,billows,your over,me passed )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “You drove me out”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מִ⁠נֶּ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,cast,me deep in/on/at/with,heart seas and,current surrounded,me all/each/any/every breakers,your and,billows,your over,me passed )

Here, eyes is a metonym meaning seeing, and seeing is a metonym for the knowledge, notice, and attention of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from before you” or “from your presence” or “to where you do not notice me”

(Some words not found in UHB: and,cast,me deep in/on/at/with,heart seas and,current surrounded,me all/each/any/every breakers,your and,billows,your over,me passed )

Here, yet indicates a contrast between Jonah being driven away from God and Jonah's hope to see the temple again. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “nevertheless”
