4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

6There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
