Amen

Amen is a Hebrew word that means “verily” or ‘”truly”, and derives from the verb amen, which means “to have faith” and “to be reliable”. The word amen is used in the Bible as an exclamation: after a prayer, oath or praise, the people listening say “amen” out loud to affirm that they are in agreement.
