Psalm 115:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
¹⁷ 
The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;
¹⁸ 
But as for us, we will bless and affectionately and gratefully praise the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
