Psalms 135:13
Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
135:13. Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever. God’s name is eternal, and will never be changed. His character is immutable; his fame and honor also will remain to all eternity. There will always be life in the name of Jesus, and sweetness and consolation. Those upon whom the Lord’s name is named in verity and truth will be preserved by it, and kept from all evil, world without end. Jehovah is a name which will outlive the ages, and retain the fullness of its glory and might forever.
And thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. Never shall people forget thee, O Lord. The ordinances of thine house will keep thee in men’s memories, and thine everlasting Gospel and the grace which goes therewith will be abiding remembrancers of thee. Grateful hearts will forever beat to thy praise, and enlightened minds will continue to marvel at all thy wondrous works. Human memorials decay, but the memorial of the Lord abides evermore. This verse must be construed in its connection, and it teaches us that the honor and glory gained by the Lord in the overthrow of the mighty kings would never die out. Israel for long ages reaped the benefit of the prestige which the divine victories had brought to the nation. Moreover, the Lord in thus keeping his covenant which he made with Abraham, when he promised to give the land to his descendants, was making it clear that his memorial contained in promises and covenant would never be out of his sight. His name endures in all its truthfulness, for those who occupied Israel’s land were driven out that the true heirs might dwell therein in peace.
