Your right I got turned around there.
That second rendering should be
I will thank thy name; more than thy mercy and more than thy truth
for thou hast increased thy word more than all thy name.
Which doesn't make a lot of sense and does not have the parallel I was
originally thinking. Darn dyslexia!
I still like my first rendering best but I can't seem to muster a
strong opinion either way.
