[B-Greek] Question on LXX Psalm 35:5 (Psa 36:5)

The verse reads: KURIE EN TWi OURANWi TO ELEOS SOU KAI H ALHQEIA SOU EWS 
TWN NEFELWN.

The Brenton translation has "O Lord, thy mercy is in the heavens and thy 
truth (reaches) to the clouds."  Whiston is almost identical, using 
"(reacheth)."

My rendering comes out: "O Lord in heaven, thy mercy and thy truth 
(reach) to the clouds."

Is there good reason in the Greek to connect "EN TWi OURANWi" with "TO 
ELEWS SOU" rather than with "KURIE?"
