Psalms

Chapter 116

Faithful people collected in the Church of Christ, exhort each other to render thanks to God, for their delivery from spiritual and temporal tribulations. 16. The Laity demand participation of Christ's Mysteries, promising to serve him duly: 25. Which the Pastors freely impart, and together with the people, solemnly celebrate God's praise.

1
Alleluia. Praise our Lord all ye Gentiles: praise him all ye peoples.
2
Because his mercy is confirmed, upon us: and his truth remaineth for ever.
