Psalm 115:14-18

Good News Translation

¹⁴ May the Lord give you children—
    you and your descendants!
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶ Heaven belongs to the Lord alone,
    but he gave the earth to us humans.
¹⁷ The Lord is not praised by the dead,
    by any who go down to the land of silence.^[a]
18 But we, the living, will give thanks to him
    now and forever.

Praise the Lord!
