Psalms 115:9-18

9People of Israel, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.

10Aaron's family, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.

11Everyone who serves the Lord, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.

12The Lord will remember us, and he will bless us. He will bless Israel's people. He will bless Aaron's family.

13He will bless everybody who serves him, whether they are important people or not.

14I pray that the Lord will give you many children, and your children too!

15I pray that the Lord will bless you all. He is the one who made the whole universe.

16The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to us people.

17Dead people cannot praise the Lord. In their graves, they are unable to speak.

18But we will praise the Lord, now and for ever. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
