Your name, O LORD
The phrase "Your name, O LORD," emphasizes the personal and covenantal relationship between God and His people. In Hebrew, the word for "name" is "shem," which signifies more than just a label; it represents God's character, authority, and reputation. The use of "LORD" in all caps indicates the divine name YHWH, the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name is a reminder of God's eternal presence and faithfulness to His covenant promises. Historically, the name YHWH was so revered that it was not spoken aloud, and the term "Adonai" was used in its place during readings.

endures forever
The phrase "endures forever" speaks to the eternal nature of God. The Hebrew word for "endures" is "olam," which conveys the idea of perpetuity and timelessness. This reflects the unchanging and everlasting nature of God, who remains constant throughout all generations. In a world where everything is subject to change and decay, the eternal nature of God's name provides a foundation of stability and hope for believers. This assurance of God's unending presence and sovereignty is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms and the entire Bible.

Your renown
"Your renown" refers to God's fame and glory, which are spread throughout the earth. The Hebrew word "zakar" is often translated as "renown" or "remembrance," indicating the lasting impact of God's mighty deeds and His reputation among the nations. God's renown is not just a historical fact but a present reality that continues to inspire worship and reverence. The remembrance of God's past acts of deliverance and faithfulness serves to strengthen the faith of His people and encourage them to trust in His ongoing provision and protection.

O LORD
Again, the use of "O LORD" reiterates the personal and covenantal relationship between God and His people. It is a call to recognize and honor the divine name YHWH, which signifies God's self-existence and eternal nature. This repetition underscores the importance of God's name and character as central to the faith and worship of His people. It is a reminder that God is not distant or impersonal but is actively involved in the lives of those who call upon His name.

throughout the generations
The phrase "throughout the generations" highlights the enduring legacy of God's name and renown. The Hebrew word "dor" means "generation," and its use here emphasizes the continuity of God's faithfulness across time. This assurance is a source of comfort and encouragement for believers, as it affirms that God's promises and character remain steadfast from one generation to the next. The historical context of Israel's journey, from the patriarchs to the present, serves as a testament to God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His people. This continuity invites each generation to participate in the ongoing account of God's redemptive work in the world.

(13) This verse is from Exodus 3:15.

Verse 13. - Thy Name, O Lord, endureth forever. The result of God's marvelous doings (vers. 6-12) is that "his Name endureth forever" - can never be forgotten - attracts to itself eternal praise and honor. And thy memorial (or, "thy remembrance") throughout all generations (comp. Psalm 102:12).
