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

They that make them are like unto them,.... Are as blind, stupid, and senseless as they; or "let them that make them", c. q so some versions and interpreters; :-;

[so is] everyone that trusteth in them; alike ignorant and sottish: and so are all such that set up idols and lusts in their own hearts, and serve them; or trust to their own righteousness; even all unregenerate and self-righteous persons: they cannot speak a word for God and his grace, for Christ and his righteousness, for the Spirit of God, and his work upon their hearts, of all which they are ignorant; they are blind and have no sight and sense of their sin and misery, and of their need of Christ and his righteousness; they are deaf to his Gospel, and the charming voice of it; they are lifeless and breathless, are dead in trespasses and sins, and have no pantings and desires after spiritual things.

q So V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Sept. Syr. Arab. Ethiop.

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.
