Psalms 115:9-18

9O 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.

10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

11You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

12The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless, He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear and worship the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder], Both the small and the great.

14May the Lord give you [great] increase, You and your children.

15May you be blessed of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, But the earth He has given to the children of men.

17The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor do any who go down into silence;

18But as for us, we will bless and affectionately and gratefully praise the Lord From this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
