5 Y our lovingkindness, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
