"The blessing of the LORD"

Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed,

and that thou wouldest keep me

from evil! And God granted him

that which he requested.

HE blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.--When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.--How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!--I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.--The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants, and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
