Contextual Overview

15 As for the idols of the Heathen they are but siluer and golde: the worke of mens handes. 16 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes but they see not. 17 They haue eares and they heare not: yea there is no breath in their mouth. 18 They that make them are lyke vnto them: [and] euery one that putteth his trust in them. 19 Blesse God ye the house of Israel: blesse God ye the house of Aaron. 20 Blesse God ye the house of Leui: ye that feare God, blesse God. 21 Blessed be God out of Sion: who dwelleth at Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The idols of the Heathen [are] silver and gold,.... This, with what follows, is observed, to show that when God judges his people, and takes vengeance on their enemies, the idols they serve will not be able to protect them, and deliver them out of his hands; and also to prove what is before asserted, that our Jehovah is great above all gods, Psalms 135:5; the matter of which they are made is at best gold and silver, which are the dust and metals of the earth, or what the prophet calls thick clay, Habakkuk 2:6; and are the creatures of Jehovah, and at his dispose, who says, the silver and the gold are mine, Haggai 2:8; and who is infinitely above them in value and worth; even the knowledge of him, and the words of his mouth, doctrines, and precepts, are better than gold and silver, Proverbs 3:14;

the work of men's hands; which they form out of gold and silver into such shapes and figures, and therefore can never have deity in them; and a most stupid thing it is to imagine that the Godhead is like to gold and silver, graven by art and man's device, Acts 17:29;

Acts 17:29- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold ... - To show more fully the propriety of praising God, and him alone as God, the psalmist instituted a comparison between him and idols, showing that the gods worshipped by the pagan lacked every ground of claim to divine worship and homage. They were, after all that could be done to fashion, to decorate, and to adorn them, nothing but silver and gold, and could have no better claim to worship than silver and gold as such. They had, indeed, mouths, eyes, ears, but they could neither speak, see, hear, nor breathe. The passage here is substantially the same as in Psalms 115:4-8; and the one was evidently copied from the other, though in the latter the description is in some respects amplified; but which was the original it is impossible to determine. See the notes at that passage.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 135:15. The idols of the heathen — This verse and the following, to the end of the 18th, Psalms 135:15-18 are almost word for word the same as verses 4-8 of Psalm cxv., where see the notes. Psalms 115:4-8
