Psalms 115:9-18

9O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector.

10O family of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector.

11You loyal followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector.

12The Lord takes notice of us, he will bless – he will bless the family of Israel, he will bless the family of Aaron.

13He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old.

14May he increase your numbers, yours and your children’s!

15May you be blessed by the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth!

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

17The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.

18But we will praise the Lord now and forevermore. Praise the Lord!
