Psalm 135:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
your renown, O Lord, lasts throughout the ages.[a]
14 For the Lord will vindicate his people
and show compassion to his servants.[b]
15 [c]The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
Footnotes
- Psalm 135:13 Extract from Ex 3:15; see Ps 102:12; Isa 63:12. The name God revealed to Moses was to increase in significance as the Lord increased his activities in redemptive history.
- Psalm 135:14 Show compassion to his servants: taken from Deut 32:36.
- Psalm 135:15 The psalmist reproduces Ps 115:4-6, 8 almost exactly. His point is that idols, unlike the God of Israel, do not speak, reveal, promise, or utter any spoken word. Ultimately, divine revelation is the difference between the religions made by humans and the true religion of the Lord (see Ps 115:4-8; Deut 4:16; Isa 44:9ff; Jer 10:1ff; Bar 6:7ff).
