⁴ For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.

⁵ Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

¹⁹ He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.

²⁰ You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.

⁴ But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

⁵ Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

⁶ So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

⁷ That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

¹⁰ Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

² For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.

⁵ In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

¹¹ For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.

⁴ The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
