Definition: Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
Explanation: Okay, let’s break down Psalm 135:13. It's a really beautiful and comforting verse from the Bible! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, this verse says: “Your name will always endure for me; Your memorial will be with me forever.” Let’s unpack it piece by piece: “Thy name…” : This is a direct address – it's talking to God. “…endures for me…” : This means your name will always be present and important to me, even when I'm not here. It’s a constant part of who you are. “…and thy memorial…throughout all generations.” : This is the really significant part. “Memorial” means a remembrance – something that reminds us of someone or something. "Throughout all generations" means it will always be remembered, and that remembrance will continue with everyone who comes after me. What does this mean practically? It's a powerful message about: Your enduring love: God loves you and your life more than anything. Your lasting significance: Your name and your memory are important to God, and they will be cherished and remembered through time. Hope for the future: Knowing that your name will endure shows us that God's presence is eternal. In short, it’s a reassurance that God cares deeply about you and will never forget you. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse?
