Psalms 115:9-18

¶O Israel, trust and take refuge in the LORD! [Be confident in Him, cling to Him, rely on His word!] He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. You who [reverently] fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield. The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless, He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear and worship the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder], Both the small and the great. [Ps 103:11; Rev 11:18; 19:5] May the LORD give you [great] increase, You and your children. May you be blessed of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. ¶The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the children of men. The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence; But as for us, we will bless and affectionately and gratefully praise the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
