Lamentations 1-2, Psalm 115

Here is the call:

All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—
   he is their help and shield.
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—
   he is their help and shield.
You who fear him, trust in the Lord—
   he is their help and shield. (Psalm 115:9-11)

And here is the response:

The Lord remembers us and will bless us:
   He will bless his people Israel,
   he will bless the house of Aaron,
he will bless those who fear the Lord—
   small and great alike. (Psalm 115:12-13)

I'm seeing "Israel" as the LORD's chosen people, "Aaron" as another designation for the LORD's chosen priests, and "those who fear the LORD" as both those among the chosen people who earnestly seek God and those among the gentile (not Jewish) population who long for God, too.

Which of God's blessings possess me today? Which ones may I share with others?
