For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
“Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—
For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.
Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.
