Psalm 115:16–17

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,

those who go down to the place of silence;

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s:

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not the Lord,

Neither any that go down into silence.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord,

but he has given the earth to all humanity.

17 The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,

for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;

But the earth He has given to the children of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

Nor any who go down into silence.

16 Heaven belongs to the Lord,

but he gave the earth to people.

17 Dead people do not praise the Lord;

those in the grave are silent.

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not Jehovah,

Neither any that go down into silence;

16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

16 The highest heaven belongs to the Lord, 

but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam. 

17 Those who are dead do not praise the Lord, 

nor do those who go into the silence ⸤of the grave⸥. 

16 The heavens are the Lord’s,

but the earth He has given to the human race.

17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord,

nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

16 The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to human beings.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any who go down into silence.

16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the children of humankind.

17 The dead do not praise Yah,

nor any descending into silence.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord.

But he has given the earth to human beings.

17 Dead people don’t praise the Lord.

Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,

But the earth He has given to the sons of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord,

Nor do any who go down into silence;
