10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
10 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
10 The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.
10 For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.
10 For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
2 For I said, "Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness."
2 I'll never quit telling the story of your love - how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world.
2 For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens."
2 Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.
(Read Psalm 89:1-4)
Though our expectations may be disappointed, yet God's promises are established in the heavens, in his eternal counsels; they are out of the reach of opposers in hell and earth. And faith in the boundless mercy and everlasting truth of God, may bring comfort even in the deepest trials.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
(Read Psalm 103:6-14)
Truly God is good to all: he is in a special manner good to Israel. He has revealed himself and his grace to them. By his ways we may understand his precepts, the ways he requires us to walk in; and his promises and purposes. He always has been full of compassion. How unlike are those to God, who take every occasion to chide, and never know when to cease! What would become of us, if God should deal so with us? The Scripture says a great deal of the mercy of God, and we all have experienced it. The father pities his children that are weak in knowledge, and teaches them; pities them when they are froward, and bears with them; pities them when they are sick, and comforts them; pities them when they are fallen, and helps them to rise; pities them when they have offended, and, upon their submission, forgives them; pities them when wronged, and rights them: thus the Lord pities those that fear him. See why he pities. He considers the frailty of our bodies, and the folly of our souls, how little we can do, how little we can bear; in all which his compassion appears.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 57:10
Commentary on Psalm 57:7-11
(Read Psalm 57:7-11)
By lively faith, David's prayers and complaints are at once turned into praises. His heart is fixed; it is prepared for every event, being stayed upon God. If by the grace of God we are brought into this even, composed frame of mind, we have great reason to be thankful. Nothing is done to purpose, in religion, unless it is done with the heart. The heart must be fixed for the duty, put in frame for it; fixed in the duty by close attention. Our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when praising God; dull and sleepy devotions will never be acceptable to God. Let us awake early in the morning, to begin the day with God; early in the beginning of a mercy. When God comes toward us with his favours, let us go forth to meet him with our praises. David desired to bring others to join in praising God; and in his psalms, he is still praising God among the people, singing to Him among the nations. Let us seek to have our hearts fixed to praise his boundless mercy and unfailing faithfulness; and to glorify him with body, soul, and spirit, which are his. Let us earnestly pray that the blessings of the gospel may be sent through every land.
