Context of Psalms 115:5
3But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased. 4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; 6They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not; 7They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.
