Psalms 135:19
17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
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!
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
