Psalms 135:18

Ver. 18. They that make them are like unto them,.... Are as blind, stupid, and senseless as they; or "let them that make them", &c. {q}; so some versions and interpreters; See Gill on "Ps 115:8";

[so is] everyone that trusteth in them; alike ignorant and sottish: and so are all such that set up idols and lusts in their own hearts, and serve them; or trust to their own righteousness; even all unregenerate and self-righteous persons: they cannot speak a word for God and his grace, for Christ and his righteousness, for the Spirit of God, and his work upon their hearts, of all which they are ignorant; they are blind and have no sight and sense of their sin and misery, and of their need of Christ and his righteousness; they are deaf to his Gospel, and the charming voice of it; they are lifeless and breathless, are dead in trespasses and sins, and have no pantings and desires after spiritual things.

{q} So V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Sept. Syr. Arab. Ethiop.
