They decorate their idols with silver and gold.
    With hammers and nails they fasten them down
    so they won’t fall over.
Their idols are like scarecrows in melon fields;
    they cannot talk.
Since they cannot walk,
    they must be carried.
Do not be afraid of those idols,
    because they can’t hurt you,
    and they can’t help you either.”

Lord, there is no one like you.
    You are great,
    and your name is great and powerful.
