Jonah 2:1-9
Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish,and he said,“ I called out of my distress to the Lord, And He answered me. I called for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.For You threw me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current flowed around me. All Your breakers and waves passed over me.So I said,‘ I have been cast out of Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’Water encompassed me to the point of death. The deep flowed around me, Seaweed was wrapped around my head.I descended to the base of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, Lord my God.While I was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness,But I will sacrifice to You With a voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the Lord.”

Isaiah 12:1-6
Then you will say on that day,“ I will give thanks to You, Lord; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me.Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.”Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.And on that day you will say,“ Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.”Praise the Lord in song, for He has done glorious things; Let this be known throughout the earth.Rejoice and shout for joy, you inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Exodus 15:1-21
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying:“ I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name.Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.The waters cover them; They went down into the depths like a stone.Your right hand, Lord, is majestic in power; Your right hand, Lord, destroys the enemy.And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those who rise up against You; You send out Your burning anger, and it consumes them like chaff.At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up, The flowing waters stood up like a heap; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.The enemy said,‘ I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; I shall be satisfied against them; I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.’You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in the mighty waters.Who is like You among the gods, Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?You reached out with Your right hand, The earth swallowed them.In Your faithfulness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation.The peoples have heard, they tremble; Anguish has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; The leaders of Moab, trembling grips them; All the inhabitants of Canaan have despaired.Terror and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of Your arm they are motionless as stone, Until Your people pass over, Lord, Until the people pass over whom You have purchased.You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, Lord, which You have made as Your dwelling, The sanctuary, Lord, which Your hands have established.The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took the tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing.And Miriam answered them,“ Sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea.”

Psalms 118:18-19
The Lord has disciplined me severely, But He has not turned me over to death.Open the gates of righteousness to me; I will enter through them, I will give thanks to the Lord.

Judges 5:1-31
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,“ For the leaders leading in Israel, For the people volunteering, Bless the Lord!Hear, you kings; listen, you dignitaries! I myself— to the Lord, I myself will sing, I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel!Lord, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped, The clouds also dripped water.The mountains flowed with water at the presence of the Lord, This Sinai, at the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.“ In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the roads were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways.The peasantry came to an end, they came to an end in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Until I arose, a mother in Israel.New gods were chosen; Then war was in the gates. Not a shield or a spear was seen Among forty thousand in Israel.My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, The volunteers among the people; Bless the Lord!You who ride on white donkeys, You who sit on rich carpets, And you who travel on the road— shout in praise!At the sound of those who distribute water among the watering places, There they will recount the righteous deeds of the Lord, The righteous deeds for His peasantry in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates.“ Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.Then survivors came down to the nobles; The people of the Lord came down to me as warriors.From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek came down, Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; From Machir commanders came down, And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of office.And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed at his heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great determinations of heart.Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.Gilead remained across the Jordan; And why did Dan stay on ships? Asher sat at the seashore, And remained by its landings.Zebulun was a people who risked their lives, And Naphtali too, on the high places of the field.“ The kings came and fought; Then the kings of Canaan fought At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo; They took no plunder in silver.The stars fought from heaven, From their paths they fought against Sisera.The torrent of Kishon swept them away, The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, march on with strength!Then the horses’ hoofs beat From the galloping, the galloping of his mighty stallions.‘ Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord,‘ Utterly curse its inhabitants, Because they did not come to the help of the Lord, To the help of the Lord against the warriors.’“ Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent.He asked for water, she gave him milk; In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.She reached out her hand for the tent peg, And her right hand for the workmen’s hammer. Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head; And she shattered and pierced his temple.Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell dead.“ Out of the window she looked and wailed, The mother of Sisera through the lattice,‘ Why does his chariot delay in coming? Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots delay?’Her wise princesses would answer her, Indeed she repeats her words to herself,‘ Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoils? A concubine, two concubines for every warrior; To Sisera a spoil of dyed cloth, A spoil of dyed cloth embroidered, Dyed cloth of double embroidery on the neck of the plunderer?’May all Your enemies perish in this way, Lord; But may those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might.” And the land was at rest for forty years.

1 Samuel 2 1-1 Samuel 2 10
Then Hannah prayed and said,“ My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.Do not go on boasting so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the Lord is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces, But those who have stumbled strap on strength.Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to be hungry. Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven, But she who has many children languishes.The Lord puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol and brings up.The Lord makes poor and rich; He humbles, He also exalts.He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap To seat them with nobles, And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance; For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He set the world on them.He watches over the feet of His godly ones, But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; For not by might shall a person prevail.Those who contend with the Lord will be terrified; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
-
Psalms 116:1-4
I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my pleas.Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.The snares of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.Then I called upon the name of the Lord:“ Please, Lord, save my life!”

Job 5:18
For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, but His hands also heal.

Psalms 107:17-22
Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their guilty deeds, were afflicted.Their souls loathed all kinds of food, And they came close to the gates of death.Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them from their distresses.He sent His word and healed them, And saved them from their destruction.They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind!They shall also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, And tell of His works with joyful singing.
