The Pulpit Commentary - Jonah 2:9

Thankfulness. "Thankfulness opens the door of mercy, sets God's goodness free to be good to us, prepares us to receive blessing." It should be cultivated. It should be expressed. "The voice of thanksgiving." Jonah was thankful. He had strong reason indeed to be. He paid the vows he had made. "Be ye thankful." Every mercy is an incentive to thankfulness. And God's mercies, "new every morning and repeated every evening," and pauseless in their coming, "cannot be reckoned up." And all... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jonah 2:9

But (And) with the voice of thanksgiving will I (would I fain) sacrifice unto Thee; what I have vowed, I would pay - He does not say, I will, for it did not depend upon him. Without a further miracle of God, he could do nothing. But he says, that he would nevermore forsake God. The law appointed sacrifices of thanksgiving; Leviticus 7:12-15. these he would offer, not in act only, but with words of praise. He would “pay what he had vowed,” and chiefly himself, his life which God had given back... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jonah 2:8-9

Jonah 2:8-9. They that observe lying vanities, &c. They that seek to, or trust in, idols, (often called by the names of vanity and lies,) forsake their own mercy Forsake him who alone is able to show mercy to them, and preserve them in time of danger: who, to all that depend upon him, is an eternal fountain of mercy, even a fountain of living waters which flow freely to all that seek unto him for them. But I will sacrifice unto thee, &c. I will offer to thee those thanks which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jonah 2:1-10

2:1-10 A PSALM OF THANKSGIVINGJonah regained consciousness inside the great fish. This almost unbelievable experience caused him to believe that it was God’s way of saving his life. From inside the fish he then thanked God for saving him from drowning. He seems to have remembered phrases from various psalms and prayers used in temple worship, and he brought these together to form his own prayer of thanksgiving.In the opening words of the psalm Jonah recalled his prayer of desperation as he... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jonah 2:9

"But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.""I will sacrifice ..." These are bold words indeed for one in the precarious situation of Jonah at the time he uttered this promise; and Deane must surely be correct in pointing out that "The Hebrew words here denote rather, `I would fain sacrifice,' as it depended not on him but upon God whether or not he would be able to worship again in the Holy Land."[39]Livingston... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jonah 2:9

Jonah 2:9. But I will sacrifice unto thee— Not to other gods, as the mariners did to their deities. Salvation is of the Lord, and not of those false gods to whom these idolatrous sailors (except in the instance here recorded) offered their vows and prayers. See Psalms 50:14.Hosea 14:2; Hosea 14:2. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jonah 2:9

9. I will sacrifice . . . thanksgiving—In the believing anticipation of sure deliverance, he offers thanksgivings already. So Jehoshaphat ( :-) appointed singers to praise the Lord in front of the army before the battle with Moab and Ammon, as if the victory was already gained. God honors such confidence in Him. There is also herein a mark of sanctified affliction, that he vows amendment and thankful obedience (Psalms 119:67). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jonah 2:2-9

F. Jonah’s psalm of thanksgiving 2:2-9The following prayer is mainly thanksgiving for deliverance from drowning. It is not thanksgiving for deliverance from the fish or a prayer of confession, as we might expect. Jonah prayed it while he was in the fish. Evidently he concluded after some time in the fish’s stomach that he would not die from drowning. Drowning was a particularly distasteful form of death for an ancient Near Easterner such as Jonah who regarded the sea as a great enemy. Jonah’s... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jonah 2:9

Jonah’s desperate condition had brought him to his senses. He would return to the source of loyal love and express his worship of Yahweh with a sacrifice. His sacrifice would have to be thanksgiving though since he despaired of being able to offer an animal or vegetable offering. He also promised to pay his vow to God. This probably refers to his commitment to serve the Lord faithfully from which he had departed but to which he now returned (cf. Psalms 50:14; Psalms 69:30; Psalms 107:22).The... read more
