4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Commentary on Psalms 108 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 108
Ps 108:1-13. This Psalm is composed of Ps 108:1-5 of Ps 57:7-11; and Ps 108:6-12 of Ps 60:5-12. The varieties are verbal and trivial, except that in Ps 108:9, "over Philistia will I triumph," differs from Ps 60:8, the interpretation of which it confirms. Its altogether triumphant tone may intimate that it was prepared by David, omitting the plaintive portions of the other Psalms, as commemorative of God's favor in the victories of His people.
