Psalm 115:3-8
“But our God is in the heavens: he does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes, but they don't see. They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses, but they don't smell. They have hands, but they don't feel. They have feet, but they don't walk. Neither do they speak through their throat. Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.”
Psalm 115 is a communal prayer or liturgy, likely sung in the temple, where the community appeals to God for help and praises his power, contrasting him with the powerless idols of the surrounding nations.
