Psalms 115:7
Russian NRT (Новый Русский Перевод)

Объяснение для детей
Imagine you have a toy doll with arms and legs, but it can't move or talk. This verse is talking about idols, which are like those dolls - they look like they can do things, but they can't actually do anything or help anyone. The real God, though, can do all these things and more!
Исторический контекст
Psalm 115 is traditionally attributed to David, written to encourage the people of Israel to trust in God rather than in idols. This verse emphasizes the futility of idol worship, a common issue in the cultural context of the ancient Near East.
