Context of Psalms 135:13

11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: 12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations. 14For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. 15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
