How can the worship of carved images be justified?

(Psalm 115:4-8) 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.

(Exodus 20:4-5) “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;
