Psalm 115:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven^(A) and earth.

¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the Lord,^(B)
    but the earth he has given^(C) to mankind.
¹⁷ It is not the dead^(D) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
