[The idols of other nations] have hands but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; they make no sound in their throat.
This Psalm was most probably sung in a liturgy. It urges listeners, including us, to concentrate on a God who is loving and faithful, a help and shield, rather than a No-God, however glitzy and beautiful - a No-God made in our image [as opposed to realizing we are made in God's image].
As we walk to Jerusalem, we will encounter many No-Gods. Our task is in the last verse:
But we will bless the Lord from this time on and evermore. Praise the Lord!
