As high as the heavens are above the earth— that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him.
“Isn’t God high above in the heavens? Look how high the highest stars are!
But from everlasting to everlasting, the Lord’s mercy is on those who fear him. His righteousness belongs to their children and grandchildren,
His mercy toward us is powerful. The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Hallelujah!
You hide them in the secret place of your presence from those who scheme against them. You keep them in a shelter, safe from quarrelsome tongues.
O Lord, your mercy reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
because your mercy is as high as the heavens. Your truth reaches the skies.
I said, “Your mercy will last forever. Your faithfulness stands firm in the heavens.”
⌞Like⌟ the high heavens and the deep earth, so the mind of kings is unsearchable.
“Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.”
For those who fear him, his mercy lasts throughout every generation.
