BubbieTex, there is another interpretation of Tehillim 115:8:

When the Reb Dovber of Lubavitch (the Mitteler Rebbe) was about six years old, he saw that two chassidim of his father (the Baal HaTanya) were downcast. They explained that they were going through financial troubles.

Reb Dovber told them, “Your sadness is mentioned clearly in Tehillim:
עצביהם (literally: their idols. but it also means) – their sadness – כסף וזהב – is because they worry about gold and silver.
This is because עינים להם ולא יראו – Hashem gives them eyes to see all the brochos that take place in their lives, yet they don’t take notice, instead they become depressed.”
