New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Psalm 115
14 May the Lord give you increase, You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.
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;
18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forever. Praise the Lord!
Psalm 116
1 I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!"
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
