Jonah 2:9

Verse 9 of 10. The 2nd of 4 chapters in Jonah, in The Minor Prophets.

5The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.

7“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

8Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.”

10Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
