Psalm 135:13

Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.

11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.
14For the LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
