Lexicon :: Strong's H2143 - zēḵer

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this in the book as a memorial and [fn]recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek [and his people] from under heaven.”

‘I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces [scattering them far away],

I will remove the memory of them from men,”

“Memory of him perishes from the earth,

And he has no name on the street.

For in death there is no mention of You;

In Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) who will praise You and give You thanks?

The enemy has been cut off and has vanished in everlasting ruins,

You have uprooted their cities;

The very memory of them has perished.

Sing to the LORD, O you His godly ones,

And give thanks at the mention of His holy name.

The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,

To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones [those whose moral and spiritual integrity places them in right standing with God],

And praise and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

But You, O LORD, are enthroned forever [ruling eternally as sovereign];

And [the fame and glory of] Your name [endures] to all generations.

Let them be before the LORD continually,

That He may cut off their memory from the earth;

He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered;

The LORD is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion.

He will never be shaken;

The righteous will be remembered forever.

Your name, O LORD, endures forever,

Your fame and remembrance, O LORD, [endures] throughout all generations.

They will overflow [like a fountain] when they speak of Your great and abundant goodness

And will sing joyfully of Your righteousness.

The [fn]memory of the righteous [person] is a [source of] blessing,

But the name of the wicked will [be forgotten and] rot [like a corpse].

Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, O LORD,

We have waited expectantly for You;

Your name, even Your memory, is the desire and deep longing of our souls.

The [wicked] dead will not live [again], the spirits of the dead will not rise and return;

Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,

And You have wiped out every memory of them [every trace of them].

Even the LORD, the God of hosts,

The name of Him [who spoke with Jacob] is the LORD.

Those who live in his shadow

Will again raise grain,

And they will blossom like the vine.

His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
