Psalms 104:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 104:21

And David came to Saul, and stood before him
As a servant, and ministered to him in the way, and for the purpose for which he was sent:

and he loved him greatly;
being a comely person, and a well behaved youth, and especially as he was serviceable to him with his music, in driving away melancholy from him:

and he became his armourbearer;
that is, he appointed him to this office, though we never read that he exercised it; nor did he go with Saul in this capacity to the battle related in the following chapter: it may be literally rendered: "and he was to him a bearer of vessels", or "instruments" ^F17; and Abarbinel thinks this is to be understood not of instruments of war, but of instruments of music to play with; which he brought in and bare before him when he went in to the king.

Psalms 104:2 In-Context

1 Praise the Lord, my soul! O Lord, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory;

2 you cover yourself with light. You have spread out the heavens like a tent

3 and built your home on the waters above. You use the clouds as your chariot and ride on the wings of the wind.

4 You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your servants.

5 You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved.
