Psalm 115:7

7 Hanno mani, e non toccano; Hanno piedi, e non camminano; E non rendono alcun suono dalla lor gola.

Psalm 115:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 115:7

They have hands, but they handle not
So as to feel any thing that is put into their hands; they cannot make use of their hands to stretch them out, and receive anything from their worshippers; nor can they give anything to them: but our God receives and accepts the sacrifices of his people, their prayers and their praises; and opens his hand, and liberally supplies their wants, both in providence and grace.

Feet have they, but they walk not;
cannot stir from the place where they are, to the assistance of those that call unto them, ( Isaiah 46:7 ) but our God walks upon the wings of the wind, and is a present help in times of trouble; a God at hand and afar off, and makes haste to the relief of his people in distress.

Neither speak they through their throat;
or make a mournful voice as a dove, as the word is used in ( Isaiah 38:14 ) or chirp as a bird, or chatter as a crane; or warble out any note through the throat, as birds do; and much less form any articulate sound, or utter any proper word, that may be understood.

Psalm 115:7 In-Context

5 Hanno bocca, e non parlano; Hanno occhi, e non veggono;

6 Hanno orecchie, e non odono; Hanno naso, e non odorano;

7 Hanno mani, e non toccano; Hanno piedi, e non camminano; E non rendono alcun suono dalla lor gola.

8 Simili ad essi sieno quelli che li fanno; Chiunque si confida in essi.

9 O Israele, confidati nel Signore; Egli è l’aiuto, e lo scudo di quelli che si confidano in lui.
