Psalm 135:13KJV·author unknown

Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

John Calvin Reformed

The Psalmist calls on all God's servants, whether those who stand in the temple itself or in its courts, to praise His name, not as a vague sentiment, but as praise of God in His actual infinite essence: His being, holiness, goodness, and truth. We praise what He truly is.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

God's name is eternal and His character cannot change; the sweetness and life in the name of Jesus shall never perish. Men's monuments crumble, but the memorial of the Lord abideth evermore, and grateful hearts shall beat to His praise through all generations without end.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

I know the Lord is great, not by hearsay but by seeing and trusting His revelation, and infinitely above all pretenders to divinity. His power is absolute and almighty: He does what He pleases in heaven, earth, and sea, with none to hinder or question Him. The heathen gods can do nothing; our God does everything.
