Psaume 57:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 57:10

For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens
Which denotes the exceeding greatness and largeness of it; as it is in the heart of God, who is plenteous in mercy; as it is expressed in the covenant of grace, where are stores of it; as it is shown forth in the choice of persons to eternal life; in the mission of Christ into this world to die for them; in the regeneration of them, the pardon of their sins, and eternal life: and this mercy is not only extended to persons in the several parts of the earth, but is as high as the heaven above it, ( Psalms 103:11 ) ;

and thy truth unto the clouds;
the faithfulness of God in performing his purposes and his promises; or the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, which contain the deep things of God; unless Christ himself should be meant, who is the truth which sprung out of the earth, ( Psalms 85:11 ) ; is now ascended unto heaven, and is higher than the heavens; and whose exaltation and glory may be designed in ( Psalms 57:11 ) .
