14 May the Lord give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
15 May you be (A)blessed by the Lord,
(B)Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 (C)The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor any who go down into silence.
18 (D)But we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,(A)
    both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(B) and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,(C)
    but the earth he has given(D) to mankind.
17 It is not the dead(E) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
18 it is we who extol the Lord,(F)
    both now and forevermore.(G)

Praise the Lord.[a](H)
