The first half of the verse recalls in every phrase the language of the Psalter. Cf. Psalms 63:1; Psalms 145:1; Psalms 138:2; Psalms 54:6; Psalms 118:28.

thou hast done wonderful things as Exodus 15:11; Psalms 77:14; Psalms 78:12. These "wonders" are the execution (in the recent experience of the nation) of counsels of old; i.e. purposes long since conceived and revealed. The last clause is perhaps to be translated: (even) counsels from afar in faithfulness and fidelity.
