Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 115:8

Psalms 115:8. They that make them And trust in, or worship them as gods, are like unto them Are as ignorant and stupid, and void of all sense and reason, as those images themselves, inasmuch as they do not make a proper use of those faculties which God hath given them, but, having eyes, see not, having ears, hear not, and having hearts, understand not. They see not the invisible things of the true and living God in the works of creation. They hear not the voice of his providence and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 115:1-18

Psalms 115-117 Saved from deathGod was always faithful to Israel, though the Israelites were often unfaithful to him. Their sins brought God’s punishment upon them, causing their pagan neighbours to mock them with the accusation that their God was unable to help them and had deserted them (115:1-2). The Israelites reply that their God is alive and in full control. The pagan gods, by contrast, are useless, and the reason they are useless is that they are lifeless. Those who trust in them will... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 115:8

Psalms 115:8. They that make them are like unto them— Are in this respect as stupid and blockish as those idols themselves, inasmuch as they do not make a regular use of those faculties which God hath given them, in relying upon him only; but on the contrary depend upon such inanimate gods. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 115:1-18

Psalms 115This anonymous psalm instructs God’s people to trust in the Lord rather than in idols."Psalms 115 is one psalm with Psalms 114 in the LXX and the Vulgate. However, there is little doubt that they form two separate psalms. The motifs and genre of the psalms are too different. Psalms 114 is in the form of a hymn describing the wonder of Israel’s redemption from Egypt, whereas the literary forms of Psalms 115 are quite varied and include lament, liturgy, and confidence."Psalms 115 may be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 115:3-8

2. The contrast between Yahweh and the idols 115:3-8Israel’s God was not on earth, as the idols were. He is in heaven, and He does whatever He pleases. The psalmist did not mean that Yahweh is capricious but that He is a free agent, independent of the actions of His worshippers. God is sovereign. In contrast, the gods Israel’s neighbors worshipped were human products made, in some cases, out of metal, even though costly metal. They had some of the attributes of human beings but were totally... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 115:1-18

In LXX 114, 115 are one Ps., while 116 is divided into two. Apparently Psalms 115 was written to be sung antiphonally: cp. the responses in Psalms 115:9-10, Psalms 115:11—the first eight and the last three verses to be sung by the congregation. Probably it is a very late Ps. The writer proclaims the vanity of idols, and ascribes all help and blessing to Jehovah alone.1. Israel is reviled by idolatrous foreigners, and appeals to God to vindicate His honour.3. God is the God of heaven, therefore... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 115:4-8

(4-8) This passage cannot compare with the magnificent irony of Isaiah 44:9-20, but there is still a noticeable vein of sarcasm running through it, visible even more in the original than in the English. (Comp. Psalms 135:15-18.) read more
