Psalms 115:9-18 The Message (MSG)
But you, Israel: put your trust in GOD! —trust your Helper! trust your Ruler! Clan of Aaron, trust in GOD! —trust your Helper! trust your Ruler! You who fear GOD, trust in GOD! —trust your Helper! trust your Ruler! O GOD, remember us and bless us, bless the families of Israel and Aaron. And let GOD bless all who fear GOD— bless the small, bless the great. Oh, let GOD enlarge your families— giving growth to you, growth to your children. May you be blessed by GOD, by GOD, who made heaven and earth. The heaven of heavens is for GOD, but he put us in charge of the earth. Dead people can’t praise GOD— not a word to be heard from those buried in the ground. But we bless GOD, oh yes— we bless him now, we bless him always! Hallelujah!

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, You and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD Which made heaven and earth.

But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

So trust in the Lord, all his people. For he is the only true hero, the wraparound God who is our shield! You, his priests, trust in the Lord. For he is the only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. Yes, all his lovers who bow before him, trust in the Lord. For he is our only true hero, God-wrapped-around-us as our shield. The Lord will never forget us in our need; he will bless us indeed! He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron, his priest. Yes! He will bless his devoted lovers who bow before him, no matter who they are. God himself will fill you with more. Blessings upon blessings will be heaped upon you and upon your children from the maker of heaven and earth, the very God who made you! The heavens belong to our God; they are his alone, but he has given us the earth and put us in charge. Dead people cannot praise the Lord, but we can! Those who sink to the silence of the grave can no longer give glory to God, but we can! So let’s praise the Lord and let it go on forever. Hallelujah, and praise the Lord!
