Context Summary
Psalm 135:13–18 compares God's power to that of idols and false gods. "The nations" are those outside of Israel. Their carved images and statues are mere objects. They have no actual life—and those who worship idols will be eternally lifeless, as well. Only the Lord is remembered forever thanks to His great love for His people (Psalm 78:2–4). Psalm 115:4–8 makes similar comments.

Chapter Summary
This psalm declares God's greatness with a series of comparisons. The psalmist calls on the temple workers to praise the Lord. He is superior to all idols or false gods. His sovereignty is absolute. He is more powerful than any human king or nation. His fame will never end. Manmade idols are lifeless objects, and those who worship them will become lifeless, as well. All those who honor the Lord should bring their praise.
