Context of Psalms 115:8

6They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; 7They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them. 9O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. 10House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
