Context — The Consequences of Idolatrygenerated
Psalm 115:8 warns that those who create and trust in idols become like them, lacking the ability to see, hear, or act. This verse follows a description of the lifelessness of idols, emphasizing the futility of placing faith in them. The psalmist contrasts the impotence of idols with the living God, encouraging the people of Israel to trust in Him instead.

The Key Word — כְּמוֹהֶם, Ke.mo.hemgenerated
The word כְּמוֹ (kemo) is a preposition meaning 'like' or 'as,' used to draw comparisons. It indicates similarity, suggesting that those who create idols share in their characteristics.
This word is built from the prefix כְּ (k-) and the root מוֹ (mo). Its frequent use in the Bible highlights the theme of resemblance, particularly in moral or spiritual contexts.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses 'become like them' and aligns with the KJV and ASV, both of which maintain the core meaning of the original Hebrew.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יִהְי֣וּ (yihyu), meaning 'they will be,' governs the structure of the verse. It is followed by a participial phrase עֹשֵׂיהֶם (oseihem), meaning 'those who make them,' and a noun phrase כֹּל (kol), meaning 'every,' which introduces the subject of trust.
The sentence emphasizes the consequences of idolatry, with the main verb at the center, illustrating the relationship between the act of making idols and the resulting identity of those who trust in them.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates כְּמוֹהֶם as αὐτοῖς (autois), meaning 'to them.' This choice indicates a direct equivalence, reinforcing the idea that those who create idols are directly linked to their lifelessness.
The Greek term γένοιντο (genoito) for 'they will be' suggests a transformation, highlighting the change in identity for those who trust in idols.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalm 115:8 tells us that those who make idols become like them, having no ability to see or act. This verse warns against trusting in lifeless idols and encourages faith in the living God, who is able to help.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To become like idols means to lose one's ability to see, hear, or act, reflecting the lifelessness of the idols themselves.
Trusting in idols is foolish because they are lifeless and cannot provide help or guidance, unlike the living God.
This verse contrasts faith in idols with faith in God, emphasizing that true trust should be placed in the living God who can act.
Modern-day idols can include material possessions, status, or anything else that people place their trust in instead of God.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways have I seen people become like the things they trust in?
- How can I ensure that my trust is placed in God rather than in lifeless idols?
- What are some practical steps I can take to strengthen my faith in God?
- How can I help others recognize the futility of trusting in idols?

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy BibleThey that make them; or, they that observe or worship them. For the psalmist’ s quarrel was not so much with those few artists who formed the images, as with all the adorers of them. And the word here rendered make doth sometimes signify to worship, as some understand it, not without probability, , because they made (i.e. worshipped) the calf which Aaron made, and as in other languages words answering to this do signify, as hath been oft observed by learned men; and it oft signifies to observe; as when men are said to make (as it is in the Hebrew) the sabbath, , and the release, and the passover, and the feast of weeks, as 16:1,10.

The word is derived from a pleonastic form of the prefix כְּ (k-) and is related to the word מוֹ (mo). There are no significant disagreements among the lexicons.
