Title: "Jonah: Chapter 2"

• Scripture: Jonah: Chapter 2

  1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said:
  “ I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction,
  And He answered me.
  “ Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
  And You heard my voice.
  3 For You cast me into the deep,
  Into the heart of the seas,
  And the floods surrounded me;
  All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
  4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
  Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’
  5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
  The deep closed around me;
  Weeds were wrapped around my head.
  6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains;
  The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
  Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
  O LORD, my God.
  7 “ When my soul fainted within me,
  I remembered the LORD;
  And my prayer went up to You,
  Into Your holy temple.
  8 “ Those who regard worthless idols
  Forsake their own Mercy.
  9 But I will sacrifice to You
  With the voice of thanksgiving;
  I will pay what I have vowed.
  Salvation is of the LORD.”
  10 So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
