God’s Word
For Everyday Life

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly.

He said,

For you threw me into the depths,

I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;

The waters surrounded me,

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.

“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD.

Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving.

Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
