Psalms 135:12-14

12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Your name, LORD, endures forever, your renown, LORD, through all generations.
14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

Psalms 135:12-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 135

This psalm was written very probably by the same hand as the former. It begins in much the same manner; it has some likeness with Psalm 113 and 114. It begins and ends with "hallelujah"; and is throughout an exhortation of praise to God, on account of his name, nature, and perfections; and because of his works of creation, providence, and grace, many of which are enumerated. The Syriac interpreter says, there is an intimation in it of the conversion of the people of the Messiah unto the faith.
