Jonah 2:7-9     (ASV)
7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee,

into thy holy temple.  
8 They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.   
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that

which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
