¹² The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us;
    he will bless the house of Israel;
    he will bless the house of Aaron;
¹³ he will bless those who fear the Lord,
    both small and great.

¹⁴ May the Lord give you increase,
    both you and your children.^(A)
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.^(B)

    but the earth he has given to human beings.^(C)

    nor do any who go down into silence.^(D)
18 But we will bless the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!^(E)
