Psalm 135:13-21
13 O Jehovah, Thy name 'is' to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations. 14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15 The idols of the nations 'are' silver and gold, Work of the hands of man. 16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, 17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth! 18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them. 19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah, 20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. 21 Blessed 'is' Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise ye Jah!

Commentary on Psalm 135:5-14
(Read Psalm 135:5-14)
God is, and will be always, the same to his church, a gracious, faithful, wonder-working God. And his church is, and will be, the same to him, a thankful, praising people: thus his name endures for ever. He will return in ways of mercy to them, and will delight to do them good.
Commentary on Psalm 135:15-21
(Read Psalm 135:15-21)
These verses arm believers against idolatry and all false worship, by showing what sort of gods the heathen worshipped. And the more deplorable the condition of the Gentile nations that worship idols, the more are we to be thankful that we know better. Let us pity, and pray for, and seek to benefit benighted heathens and deluded sinners. Let us endeavour to glorify his name, and recommend his truth, not only with our lips, but by holy lives, copying the example of Christ's goodness and truth.
