Psalms 115:15
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
