8. They who make idols are like them; so are all who trust in and lean on them. [Ps. 135:15-18.]

10. O house of Aaron [the priesthood], trust in and lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield.

11. You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in and lean on the Lord! He is their Help and their Shield.

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 [the priesthood],

13. He will bless those who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, both small and great. [Ps. 103:11; Rev. 11:18; 19:5.]

14. May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.

15. May you be blessed of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth!
