“For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. as: Heb. according to the height of the heaven”
Psalms 103:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 103:11
The immeasurable height of heaven above earth illustrates the greatness of God's mercy (chesed) toward those who fear Him. This cosmic comparison emphasizes that divine mercy infinitely surpasses human comprehension or merit. 'Fear' (yare) here means reverent trust, not terror. The Reformed emphasis on God's sovereignty highlights that His mercy is great because He is great. Christ descended from this heaven (John 3:13) to demonstrate mercy's full extent—God Himself dying for sinners.
