'Idols' in the Bible

I hate those who pay regard to vain (empty, worthless) idols;But I trust in the Lord [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence].

Let the peoples praise You, O God;Let all the peoples praise You.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;Let all the peoples praise You.

For all the gods of the peoples are [worthless, lifeless] idols,But the Lord made the heavens.

Let all those be [deeply] ashamed who serve carved images,Who boast in idols.Worship Him, all you gods!

And served their idols,Which became a [dreadful] snare to them.

And shed innocent blood,Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;And the land was polluted with their blood.

The idols [of the nations] are silver and gold,The work of man’s hands.

Those who make them will become like them,Everyone who trusts in them.

Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine],And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,The work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they do not speak;They have eyes, but they do not see;

Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless];So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.
