For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
“Is not God high in the heavens? See the highest stars, how lofty they are!
But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children,
For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots; you hold them safe under your shelter from contentious tongues.
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the clouds.
I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
Like the heavens for height, like the earth for depth, so the mind of kings is unsearchable.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
indeed, his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
