Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
