Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 115:8

8 They that make them are like unto them ; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Or, they that observe or worship them. For the Psalmists quarrel was not so much with those few Artists who formed the Images, as with all the adorers of them. And the word here rendred make doth sometimes signifie to worship, as some understand it, not without probability, Exod. 32. 35. because they made (i. e. worshipped) the calf which Aaron made, and as in other Languages words answering to this do signifie, as hath been oft observed by learned men; and it oft signifies to observe; as when men are said to make (as it is in the Hebrew) the Sabbath, Deut. 5. 15. and the release, and the Passover, and the feast of weeks, as Deut. 15. 1. & 16. 1. 10.

This is a sharp reflection, either 1. upon the Idols, whose highest preferment it is to be made like unto man, a mortal, weak and miserable creature, infinitely inferiour to the true God. Or, 2. to the makers or worshippers of them, who by this absurd and foolish action, shew that they are as ignorant and stupid and void of all sence and reason as their Images.
