Psalm 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.

Psalm 104:2 In-Context

1 Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you are robed with honour and power.

2 You are clothed with light as with a robe; stretching out the heavens like a curtain:

3 The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:

4 He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.

5 He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;
