Psalm 96:5

5 Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son ídolos; mas el SEÑOR hizo los cielos.

Psalm 96:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 96:5

For all the gods of the nations are idols
Or are "nothings" ^F15, nonentities; such as have not, and never had, any being, at least many of them, but in the fancies of men; and all of them such as have no divinity in them;

an idol is nothing in the world,
( 1 Corinthians 8:4 ) ,

but the Lord made the heavens;
and all the hosts of them, the sun, moon, and stars; these are the curious workmanship of his fingers, and which declare his glory, and show him to be truly and properly God, who is to be feared and worshipped; see ( Hebrews 1:10 ) ( Jeremiah 10:11 Jeremiah 10:12 ) .
