Commentary for Psalms 108:5
כִּֽי־גָד֣וֹל מֵֽעַל־שָׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽעַד־שְׁחָקִ֥ים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, And Thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
Rashi on Psalms
above the heavens and one verse says (above 57:11): “is up to the heavens.” Our Rabbis explained: This one speaks of those who perform [a commandment] for its sake [i.e., for the sole purpose of obeying the Torah], and that one deals with those who perform [the commandments] with ulterior motives.
