Psalm 115:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 115:8

They that make them are like unto them
As stupid as the matter of which they are made; as sottish and as senseless as the idols themselves, see ( Isaiah 44:9-20 ) . Aben Ezra and Kimchi interpret it as a petition, "let them that make them be like unto them"; and so the Targum, the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions: they liked not to retain God in their knowledge, let them be given up to a reprobate mind, to a mind void of all sense and judgment; and which indeed is their case, ( Romans 1:28 ) .

So is everyone that trusteth in them;
more especially they that worship them: for an artificer may make them for gain, and have no faith in them; but a worshipper places confidence in them. Or this clause may be explanative of the former, and be rendered, even "every one" for "to make" sometimes signifies to serve and worship, ( Exodus 32:35 ) .

Psalm 115:8 In-Context

6 Elles ont des oreilles et n'entendent point, Elles ont un nez et ne sentent point,

7 Elles ont des mains et ne touchent point, Des pieds et ne marchent point, Elles ne produisent aucun son dans leur gosier.

8 Ils leur ressemblent, ceux qui les fabriquent, Tous ceux qui se confient en elles.

9 Israël, confie-toi en l'Eternel! Il est leur secours et leur bouclier.

10 Maison d'Aaron, confie-toi en l'Eternel! Il est leur secours et leur bouclier.
