16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord.

Psalms 116
Intro: The psalmist professeth his love and duty to God for his deliverance.

1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
