silence, the realm of the dead; the stillness of Sheol
This feminine noun means silence, specifically the silence of death or the grave. The psalmist contrasts the living who praise God with the dead who 'go down to silence.' Another psalm warns that without God's help, he would dwell 'in silence'—a poetic term for Sheol. The word evokes the eternal stillness of the grave, where no voice rises in praise.
