(A)Their idols are silver and gold,
    (B)the work of human hands.
They have mouths, (C)but do not speak;
    eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear;
    noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel;
    feet, but do not walk;
    and they do not make a sound in their throat.
(D)Those who make them become like them;
    so do all who trust in them.

O (E)Israel,[a] (F)trust in the Lord!
    He is their (G)help and their shield.
10 O (H)house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
    He is their help and (I)their shield.
11 You (J)who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
    He is their help and their shield.
