15 The idols of the nations are but silver and gold , The work of man's hands . 16 They have mouths , but they do not speak ; They have eyes , but they do not see ; 17 They have ears , but they do not hear , Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths . 18 Those who make them will be like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 19 O house of Israel , bless the Lord ; O house of Aaron , bless the Lord ; 20 O house of Levi , bless the Lord ; You who revere the Lord , bless the Lord . 21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion , Who dwells in Jerusalem . Praise the Lord !

Commentary on Psalm 135:15-21
(Read Psalm 135:15-21)
These verses arm believers against idolatry and all false worship, by showing what sort of gods the heathen worshipped. And the more deplorable the condition of the Gentile nations that worship idols, the more are we to be thankful that we know better. Let us pity, and pray for, and seek to benefit benighted heathens and deluded sinners. Let us endeavour to glorify his name, and recommend his truth, not only with our lips, but by holy lives, copying the example of Christ's goodness and truth.
