Psalm 115:17

It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.

For there is no remembrance of You in death;
who can thank You in Sheol?

Lord, do not let me be disgraced when I call on You.
Let the wicked be disgraced;
let them be silent in Sheol.

Do You work wonders for the dead?
Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?Selah

He guards the steps of His faithful ones,
but the wicked perish in darkness,
for a man does not prevail by his own strength.

“What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your truth?

For Sheol cannot thank You;
Death cannot praise You.
Those who go down to the Pit
cannot hope for Your faithfulness.

Let the wicked be disgraced;
let them be silent
