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.
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.
