¹⁵ Blessed `are' ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

¹ In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

¹⁹ and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed `is' Abram to God Most High, possessing heaven and earth;

⁷ saying in a great voice, `Fear ye God, and give to Him glory, because come did the hour of His judgment, and bow ye before Him who did make the heaven, and the land, and sea, and fountains of waters.'

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

³ Blessed `is' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

⁴ according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

¹⁵ and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

³ Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!

⁸ Our help `is' in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

² My help `is' from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

⁸ Of Jehovah `is' this salvation; On Thy people `is' Thy blessing! Selah.

²⁷ And he saith unto him, `What `is' thy name?' and he saith, `Jacob.'

²⁸ And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'

²⁹ And Jacob asketh, and saith, `Declare, I pray thee, thy name;' and he saith, `Why `is' this, thou askest for My name?' and He blesseth him there.
