Daily Meditation
8 They that observe
lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Today’s ReadingJonah
Chapter 2
Jonah prayed unto the Lord
1 Then Jonah prayed
unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly, 2 and said, I cried by reason of
mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried
I, and thou heardest my voice. 3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the
midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy
waves passed over me. 4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will
look again toward thy holy temple. 5 The waters compassed me about, even to the
soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. 6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about
me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. 7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in
unto thee, into thine holy temple. 8 They that observe lying vanities forsake
their own mercy. 9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of
thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
