Psalms 115:9
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
