The Power of Prayer
DAILY DWELL
“The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.”
Psalm 135:15–16
Psalm 135
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
All you Israelites, praise the Lord;
house of Aaron, praise the Lord;
house of Levi, praise the Lord
you who fear him, praise the Lord.
Praise be to the Lord from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord.
(vv. 15–21)
