For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
*Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
But the LORD's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
For his loving kindness is great toward us. The LORD's faithfulness endures forever. Praise the LORD!
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
I indeed declare, *Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.*
As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.
