Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him (comp. Psalm 36:5, "Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds"). The metaphor is bold, yet inadequate; for God's mercy is infinite.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) So great is his mercy toward.--Literally, Strong is his mercy upon (or, over). (Comp. Psalm 117:2.) The comparison in the first clause, and the use of this expression in Genesis 49:26 and 2Samuel 11:23, suggests as the right rendering hereFor as the heaven is higher than the earth,So far (above what was expected) for them fearing him prevails his mercy.(For the same comparison, see Isaiah 55:7-9; and comp. Isaiah 38:17; Micah 7:19.) . . .
