Psalms 115 — Context

They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.
