4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, And passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, Because he delights in loving kindness. He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; And you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, As you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them."
For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
Yahweh is high above all nations, 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.
