Psalms 115:4-8

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 115:4 This satirical passage exposes the folly of worshiping idols (compare Psalms 135:15; Isaiah 44:9). Many Bible passages explain that idols are merely the work of human hands and therefore unworthy of human worship (e.g., Deuteronomy 4:28; Deuteronomy 27:15; Deuteronomy 31:29; 2 Kings 19:18; Isaiah 2:8). If these gods are unworthy of Israel’s worship, it is a tragedy that the Gentiles both make them and then become like them.
