With a song of thanksgiving, I will sacrifice to You

Jonah 1:17-2:10
Jonah want to dead but the Load provided a great fish to swallow Jonah and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah inside the fish he prayed to the Load.
"In my distress I called to the Load, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry."
"I said I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you brought my life up from the pit."
"When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Load"
"Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Load."
The Load commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.
Why?
The Load like to hear our prayer. The Load loved Jonah.
Inside the fish was dark and smell bad and couldn't stand firmly. It was under distress more ever.
Jonah can do pray only. He thanked the Load saved his life, his prayer is realistic situation. He has come to his senses, remembering his'true loyalty'
The Load responds by returning him to the world of light ad air. He will have the chance to begin again.
Salvation comes from the Load, there is not other ways or sources.
How?
The Load usually gave us the chance to repent and chance to begin again. Do I remember the grace of the Load, there are nothing is deserve for me, except death. Everything is the mercy from the Load, "With a song of thanksgiving, I will sacrifice to You, Load. What I have vowed I will make good"
