Verse 2

Mercy shall be built up The work of mercy shall go steadily forward, though much may appear to hinder.

The “heavens” may be mentioned as the seat of authority, and for settling the divine counsels, or as illustrating the faithfulness of God by the order and harmony of the celestial bodies. Psalms 119:89-91; Psalms 36:5
