Psalm 115:14
“The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 115Meaning
The language voices hope for communal continuity and flourishing, not a guaranteed demographic or fertility outcome for every household.
Blessing, stewardship, and continuing praise
The psalm moves from remembered blessing to inclusive blessing, stewardship of earth, and the living community's resolve to praise.
Read carefully
The verse is a communal prayer for increase, not an individual fertility promise or basis for blame.
Reflection
Pray with hope while honoring people without children and families formed in different ways.
