Psalm 36:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns; thy truth doth reach the clouds:

See the chapter Copy

For why? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.

For above heav'n thy mercy's great, thy truth doth reach the sky.

For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are:

For great to heav'n thy mercy is, thy truth is to the sky.

Thy loving-kindness to shew forth when shines the morning light; And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure ev'ry night.

For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ns, thou wilt establish sure.

Why dost thou boast, O mighty man, of mischief and of ill? The goodness of Almighty God endureth ever still.
