15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands. 16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
They have eyes, but they can’t see. 17 They have ears, but they can’t hear;
neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them. 19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh! 20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh! 21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
Who dwells at Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 135:15-21
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.
