Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

Our God is in heaven;

He does as He pleases.

Reflect

Can it hear you?

What have you trusted that cannot hear you? “Those who make them become like them.” Has it begun to make you like it?

A round hide-covered wooden shield resting against a rock in a hill camp at morning, its leather scarred, no owner in frame.

O Israel, trust in the LORD!

He is their help and shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!

He is their help and shield.

You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!

He is their help and shield.

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.

Narrated by Bob Souer · BSB audio, public domain

A father with small children walking a harvested field, a child on his shoulders, sheaves stacked behind, seen from a little behind.

May the LORD give you increase,

both you and your children.

May you be blessed by the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

The highest heavens belong to the LORD,

but the earth He has given to mankind.

It is not the dead who praise the LORD,

nor any who descend into silence.

But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
