Jonás 2:7

7 »Al sentir que se me iba la vida,me acordé del SEÑOR,y mi oración llegó hasta ti,hasta tu santo templo.

Jonás 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jonah 2:7

When my soul fainted within me
Covered with grief; overwhelmed with sorrow; ready to faint and sink at the sight of his sins; and under a sense of the wrath and displeasure of God, and being forsaken by him: I remembered the Lord;
his covenant and promises, his former mercies and lovingkindness, the gracious experiences he had had of these in times past; he remembered he was a God gracious and merciful, and ready to forgive, healed the backslidings of his people, and still loved them freely, and tenderly received and embraced them, when they returned to him: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple;
into heaven itself, the habitation of God's holiness, the temple where he dwells, and is worshipped by holy angels and glorified saints; the prayer the prophet put up in the fish's belly, encouraged to it by remembering the mercy and goodness of God, ascended from thence, and reached the ears of the Lord of hosts in the highest heavens, and met with a kind reception, and had a gracious answer; see ( Psalms 3:4 ) ( 22:6 ) .

Jonás 2:7 In-Context

5 Las aguas me llegaban hasta el cuello,lo profundo del océano me envolvía;las algas se me enredaban en la cabeza,

6 arrastrándome a los cimientos de las montañas.Me tragó la tierra, y para siempresus cerrojos se cerraron tras de mí.Pero tú, SEÑOR, Dios mío,me rescataste de la fosa.

7 »Al sentir que se me iba la vida,me acordé del SEÑOR,y mi oración llegó hasta ti,hasta tu santo templo.

8 »Los que siguen a ídolos vanosabandonan el amor de Dios.

9 Yo, en cambio, te ofreceré sacrificiosy cánticos de gratitud.Cumpliré las promesas que te hice.¡La salvación viene del SEÑOR!»
