Jonah 2:1-10

Jonah is associated with the giant fish, a reluctant prophet of hope to the enemies of his people. In chapter 2, Jonah’s repentance brings redemption. Taken on its own merit, the Psalm in chapter 2 is quite beautiful. Skillfully woven into this poem are ancient theologies of God’s character and presence, God’s holiness, redemption, and sovereignty. Because it is a Psalm, it was meant to be heard, with music, so in preparation for Sunday worship, please read this chapter out loud with instrumental music playing. What do you hear?"Grace and PeaceJoanne G. Hagemeyer
