Verse 16 is found in chapter 115 of Psalms. Psalm 115 radically contrasts the living God with idols made by human hands. The idols have mouths, eyes, and ears in appearance, but lack real ability to act. The text warns that those who trust in them become like them, unable to respond. In contrast, Israel is called to trust in the Lord, who blesses and remembers his people. The conclusion turns trust into an ongoing vocation of praise.
