135:13-14 The Lord's Name Will Endure Forever. Verse 13 (see note) evokes Ex. 3:15, which is part of God's explanation for his "name": it signifies his continuing faithfulness to his people (see note on Ex. 3:14), and therefore ensures that he will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants (i.e., rescue them from trouble and oppression, even when it is their own fault, cf. Deut. 32:36), as his deeds have already shown him doing (Ps. 135:8-12).

135:13 As the ESV footnote shows, the word renown could also be rendered "remembrance"; the psalm is alluding to Ex. 3:15, "This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations."
