Grateful for Gratefulness

6 

To the roots of the mountains I went down,

    to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.

Yet you brought up my life from the pit,

    O Lord my God.

7 

When my life was fainting away,

    I remembered the Lord,

and my prayer came to you,

    into your holy temple.

8 

Those who pay regard to vain idols

    forsake their hope of steadfast love.

9 

But I with the voice of thanksgiving

    will sacrifice to you;

what I have vowed I will pay.

    Salvation belongs to the Lord!”- Jonah 2:6-9 ESV
