Month of Thanksgiving - Day 16

拿 2

1 約拿在魚腹中禱告耶和華─他的 神, 2 說: 我遭遇患難求告耶和華, 你就應允我; 從陰間的深處呼求, 你就俯聽我的聲音。 3 你將我投下深淵, 就是海的深處; 大水環繞我, 你的波浪洪濤都漫過我身。 4 我說: 我從你眼前雖被驅逐, 我仍要仰望你的聖殿。 5 諸水環繞我, 幾乎淹沒我; 深淵圍住我; 海草纏繞我的頭。 6 我下到山根, 地的門將我永遠關住。耶和華─我的 神啊, 你卻將我的性命從坑中救出來。 7 我心在我裏面發昏的時候, 我就想念耶和華。我的禱告進入你的聖殿, 達到你的面前。 8 那信奉虛無之神的人, 離棄憐愛他們的主; 9 但我必用感謝的聲音獻祭與你。我所許的願, 我必償還。 救恩出於耶和華。 10 耶和華吩咐魚, 魚就把約拿吐在旱地上。


Jonah 2

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. 2 And he said: “I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answered me. “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice. 3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me. 4 Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’ 5 The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head. 6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God. 7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; And my prayer went up to You, into Your holy temple. 8 “Those who regard worthless idols forsake their own Mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” 10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
