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.
