9O house of Israel, trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
11You who fear him, 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 make you increase,
both you and your children.
15May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
16The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has given to man.
17It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who go down to silence;
18it is we who extol the Lord,
both now and forevermore.
Praise the Lord.
