What Does Psalm 135:13 Mean Your name, O LORD, endures forever“Your name, O LORD, endures forever” (Psalm 135:13). • A name in Scripture represents character, authority, and reputation (Proverbs 18:10). God’s name stands for who He is—holy, righteous, faithful. • “Endures forever” highlights His unchanging nature. Just as “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), so the covenant name Yahweh remains constant. • This assurance anchors worshipers: the God who delivered Israel from Egypt (Psalm 135:8–9) still reigns today. Similar declarations appear in Exodus 3:15 (“This is My name forever”) and Psalm 102:12 (“Your remembrance through all generations”). • Because His name never diminishes, believers can trust promises like Isaiah 40:8—“The word of our God endures forever”—and Revelation 1:8, where the Lord proclaims Himself “the Alpha and the Omega.” Your renown, O LORD, through all generations “Your renown, O LORD, through all generations” (Psalm 135:13). • “Renown” speaks of fame, deeds, and the public testimony of God’s works (Psalm 111:4–6). What He has done is recounted age after age. • Scripture frequently pairs God’s eternal name with His multigenerational faithfulness: – Psalm 100:5 – “His faithfulness continues through all generations.” – Deuteronomy 7:9 – “He keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations.” – Luke 1:50 – Mary praises, “His mercy is on those who fear Him, from generation to generation.” • Each generation is invited to proclaim God’s mighty acts. Psalm 145:4 captures the pattern: “One generation will commend Your works to the next.” The church today participates in that relay, telling the next generation about salvation in Christ (Acts 2:39). • His renown expanding “through all generations” counters the fleeting fame of idols mentioned earlier in Psalm 135:15–18. Unlike powerless images, the living God’s reputation grows as history unfolds. summary Psalm 135:13 celebrates the Lord’s unchanging identity and ever-spreading fame. His name—His very character—cannot decay or be eclipsed, and His mighty deeds become a living testimony passed from parent to child, believer to believer. Because His name endures and His renown reaches every generation, we can rest secure today and boldly share His greatness tomorrow.
