PSALME 116. (Book 116)

An act of love and thanksgiving to God, for de∣liverance from sinne and death.

MORNING PRAYER (Book 116)

I Am well pleased: that the Lord hath heard the voice of my prayer.

2 That he hath enclined his eare unto me: therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The snares of death compassed me round about: and the paines of hell gat hold upon me.

4 I shall finde trouble and heavinesse, and I shall call upon the name of the Lord: O Lord I beseech thee deliver my soul.

5 Bratious is the Lord and righteous: yea, our God is mercifull.

6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.

7 Turn again then unto they rest, O my soul: for the Lord hath rewarded thee.

8 And why? thou hast delivered my soul from

death: mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I will walke before the Lord: in the land of the living.

10 I beleeved, and therefore will I speak, but I was sore troubled: I said in my hast, All men are liars.

11 What reward shall I give unto the Lord: for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?

12 I will receive the cup of salvation: and call upon the name of the Lord.

13 I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people: right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

14 Behold (O Lord) how that I am thy ser∣vant: I am thy servant, and the sonne of thine handmaid, thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.

15 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanks∣giving: and will call upon the name of the Lord.

16 I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the sight of all his people: in the courts of the Lords house, even in the mids of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise the Lord.

The Prayer.

O Lord God of eternall mercies, Gracious and Righteous, give unto us hearts filled with love and praises to thy holy name; for thou hear∣est

our prayers, thou breakest asunder the bonds of our sinnes, thou deliverest our soules from trou∣ble and heavinesse, and snatchest us from the snares of death, and savest us from the paines of hell. O mercyfull God, let our soules rest in thee, and be satisfied in the pleasures of thy mercy, that we may receive the cup of blessing and salvati∣on, and celebrate the Eucharist in honour of thy name, and in remembrance of thy infinite bene∣fits which thou hast done unto us, and at last may pay our great Allelujah to the Lord in the courts of the Lords house, in the midst of the cele∣stiall Jerusalem, through Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
