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
) .
