and may the people thrive like grass in a field. (Ps. 72:16)

for he speaks peace to his faithful people.
But let them not return to their foolish ways. (Ps. 85:8)

Closing Benediction
Unfailing love and truth have met together.
Righteousness and peace have kissed!
Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
Yes, the Lord pours down his blessings.
Our land will yield its bountiful harvest.
Righteousness goes as a herald before him,
preparing the way for his steps. (Ps. 85:10-13)
