Jonah's Psalm: Jonah 2:2-9

Jonah's psalm is a typical psalm of thanksgiving, whose theology and contents would fit well in the book of psalms. However, it provides a good example of how reading a passage in the light of the flow of text surrounding it can change how we understand. Read following the narrative of chapter one Jonah's psalm (Jon 2:2-9 or MT 2:3-10) is thoroughly ironic.
