their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.

they can do no harm
nor can they do any good. - Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.

keep your foot from evil. - But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. - Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
