(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_assigned YHWH fish big/great to,swallow DOM Yōnāh/(Jonah) and=he/it_was Yōnāh/(Jonah) in/on/at/with,belly the,fish three days and,three nights )
Here, the author is using the possessive form to describe Yahweh as the God whom Jonah worshiped. The word his does not mean that Jonah owned God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh, the God to whom he belonged,”
2:1-9 Realizing that the Lord had graciously delivered him by sending the fish, Jonah composed this psalm-like prayer. Its careful structure, conforming to the pattern of an individual song of thanksgiving, suggests that it may have been composed after the event, as Jonah recalled his emotions and concerns.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
