Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 103:11

11 For as the Heaven is high above the earth: so great is his mercy towards them that fear him .

So much above their deserts and expectations, and above the mercy which one man sheweth to another.

Which clause he adds here, as also v. 17, 18. to prevent mens mistakes and abuses of Gods mercy, and to dash the vain hopes of impenitent sinners in Gods mercy.
