Jonah 2:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “When my life was nearly over,
    I remembered you, Lord.
My prayer rose up to you.
    It reached you in your holy temple in heaven.

⁸ “Some people worship the worthless statues of their gods.
    They turn away from God’s love for them.
⁹ But I will sacrifice a thank offering to you.
    And I will shout with thankful praise.
I will do what I have promised.
    I will say, ‘Lord, you are the one who saves.’ ”
