Psalms 115:4-8 ESV
(4) Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (5) They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. (6) They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. (7) They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. (8) Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

Psalm 115:4-8 NWT
4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of the hands of earthling man. 5 A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes they have, but they cannot see; 6 Ears they have, but they cannot hear. A nose they have, but they cannot smell. 7 Hands are theirs, but they cannot feel. Feet are theirs, but they cannot walk; They utter no sound with their throat. 8 Those making them will become just like them, All those who are trusting in them.

Psalms 115:4-8 CEV
(4) The idols of the nations are made of silver and gold. (5) They have a mouth and eyes, but they can't speak or see. (6) Their ears can't hear, and their noses can't smell. (7) Their hands have no feeling, their legs don't move, and they can't make a sound. (8) Everyone who made the idols and all who trust them are just as helpless as those useless gods.

Psalms 115:4-8 GNB
(4) Their gods are made of silver and gold, formed by human hands. (5) They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see. (6) They have ears, but cannot hear, and noses, but cannot smell. (7) They have hands, but cannot feel, and feet, but cannot walk; they cannot make a sound. (8) May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made.

Psalms 115:4-8 BBE
(4) Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. (5) They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not; (6) They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell; (7) They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat. (8) Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
