<DIV><BR>>>I was glancing at the Daat Mikra Tehillim the other day, and in
Psalm<BR>16 or 33, I think, on one of those lo ha-meitim yehalelu kah types
of<BR>pesukim scattered throughout Tehillim, Daat Mikra noted that this<BR>gives
many meforshim difficulties - how can this possibly be the case<BR>in Olam
haBa??!!<<</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000
size=2>My understanding of this pasuk may be simple-minded but to me it just
seems so obvious that this pasuk is talking about olam hazeh. In this
world, once a person is dead, his body -- the part of him that's dead -- can no
longer praise Hashem (or do anything). The part of him that's alive is by
definition not dead -- thus the neshama does not come under the category of "lo
hameisim yehallelu Kah."</DIV>
