Psalms 115:4-8

Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

    The emptiness of praying to lifeless idols is named here directly; the song shows the futility without pointing toward a living God who actually hears.

    strains against Psalms 115:4-7

    The silent idols of the fallen empire echo the psalm's mockery of lifeless gods, implicitly questioning whether any deity, true or false, truly answers.
