Psa 115:17-18 It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to silence; it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forever more. Praise the Lord.
Death occurs when one passes on from the living state to being no longer alive. When death occur, the dead are without any physical sensation: no sensitivity to touch, pain,smell etc
“Those who go down to silence” cannot praise the Lord. Death puts an end to our glorifying God in this world. The dead body cannot praise the lord! It is only the living who can praise the Lord. Because the dead cannot praise the Lord, we should diligently praise him when we are alive!
Psa 135:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise Him, O you servants of the LORD!
Psa 135:2 You who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God,
Psa 135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant.
