Psalms 115:17

Death and lossPraise and worship

15 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.

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
