7They have hands, but they cannot feel;
feet, but they cannot walk; *
they make no sound with their throat.
8Those who make them are like them, *
and so are all who put their trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.
11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has been mindful of us, and he 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, *
both small and great together.
14May the Lord increase you more and more, *
you and your children after you.
15May you be blessed by the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
16The heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, *
but he entrusted the earth to its peoples.
17The dead do not praise the Lord, *
nor all those who go down into silence;
18But we will bless the Lord, *
from this time forth for evermore.
Hallelujah!
758Psalm 115
