Psalms 115:4 - Exposition

Their idols are silver and gold . At the best—often mere wood and stone ( Deuteronomy 4:28 ); but the idols of the Babylonians were mostly of the more precious materials (Herod; 1:183; Daniel 3:1 ; Ep. Jeremiah 1:4 , Jeremiah 1:11 , etc.). The work of men's hands ( Psalms 135:15 ; Isaiah 44:12-17 ). To avoid this reproach, some images were said to have fallen down from heaven ( Acts 19:35 ).
