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”

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”

אַ֚ךְ
(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”
2:4 On the brink of drowning, Jonah called out for help, for life, and for God’s renewed presence. It is ironic that Jonah spoke of God as driving Jonah from his presence, for that was Jonah’s own aim in fleeing to Tarshish (1:3).
• I will look once more: Either Jonah was confident that he would be rescued and thus worship again in the Temple in Jerusalem, or he was calling to the Lord in his Temple from the sea (cp. 2:7).

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