Psalms 115:9-18

9Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.

11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.

12The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

13he will bless those who fear the Lord  — small and great alike.

14May the Lord add to your numbers, both yours and your children’s.

15May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the Lord’s, but the earth he has given to the human race.

17It is not the dead who praise the Lord, nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

18But we will bless the Lord, both now and forever. Hallelujah!
