Psalms 135:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 135:13

Thy name, O Lord, [endureth] for ever
The Lord himself endures for ever, in his nature, being, and perfections; and the fame of him, the fame of those acts of power and goodness before mentioned: the name of Christ endures for ever; his person and offices, his Gospel, which is his name; his children and people, who are called by his name, and in whom his name is perpetuated; the fame of his wondrous works in nature, providence, and grace; and especially of his great work of redemption and salvation;

[and] thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations;
or "the remembrance of them to, generation and generation"; to every age; the love of Christ is remembered by his people in every age, the blessings of his grace in redemption, justification, pardon and cannot be forgotten as long as his Gospel is preached, the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's supper administered, and he has a people in the world, all which will be as long as the sun and moon endure, there will be a memorial of him.

Psalms 135:13 In-Context

11 Sihon the king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan--
12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance for his people Israel.
13 O Yahweh, your name [endures] forever, your {renown} {throughout all generations},
14 for Yahweh will plead [the] cause [of] his people and will have compassion on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, [the] work of the hands of humankind.
