Psalms 135:18

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
