Psalms 115:15

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth - alluding to Melchizedek's blessing upon Abraham, the first father of Israel, the heir of Abraham's blessing, "Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth" (). As being the 'Maker of heaven and earth,' He is infinitely rich in power to make His people "blessed," however many be their troubles, and however strong their enemies. On the contrary, "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens" ().
