Psalms 115:14

The Lord shall increase you— The Lord will heap blessings upon you. Here the author turns himself to them, and assures them of the favour of him who made heaven and earth; who therefore would preserve them, and not suffer them to go down among the dead. ףּיס iosep, though I have translated it generally by all blessings, seems more particularly to intend an addition of days: "The Lord shall bless you and your sons with length of days, upon this earth which he has created for you, and where you pay him the tribute of praise." Mudge, who translates the 16th verse thus, As to heaven, heaven is the Lord's; but the earth he giveth, &c. Or it may be read, The heavens of heavens are the Lord's, &c.
