Psalms 115:13
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
