Psalms 96:5

Ver. 5. For all the gods of the nations are idols,.... Or are "nothings" {o}, nonentities; such as have not, and never had, any being, at least many of them, but in the fancies of men; and all of them such as have no divinity in them;

an idol is nothing in the world, 1Co 8:4,

but the Lord made the heavens; and all the hosts of them, the sun, moon, and stars; these are the curious workmanship of his fingers, and which declare his glory, and show him to be truly and properly God, who is to be feared and worshipped; see Heb 1:10.

{o} Mylyla "nihila", Tigurine version, Cocceius, Michaelis.
