Psalms 115:16 - Exposition

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's ; literally, the heavens are heavens of Jehovah . They belong to him—he dwells there; but it is otherwise with the earth. But the earth hath he given to the children of men. For man God framed this fair world; to man's use he adapted it with minutest care; and certainly not least for his own people, who are "the salt of the earth"—the human race by representation.
