Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
The psalmist uses the immeasurable distance between heaven and earth to describe God's great love.
Just as no one can measure the distance from earth to heaven, so God's steadfast love toward those who fear Him is immeasurable. This cosmic comparison helps us grasp the magnitude of divine love—it is as high and unreachable as the heavens, yet intimately directed toward us.
