Psalm 104:2

2 Egli si ammanta di luce come di una vesta; Egli tende il cielo come una cortina.

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 BENEDICI, anima mia, il Signore; O Signore Iddio mio, tu sei sommamente grande; Tu sei vestito di gloria e di magnificenza.

2 Egli si ammanta di luce come di una vesta; Egli tende il cielo come una cortina.

3 Egli fa i palchi delle sue sale nelle acque; Egli pone le nuvole per suo carro: Egli passeggia sopra le ale del vento.

4 Egli fa i venti suoi Angeli, E il fuoco divampante suoi ministri.

5 Egli ha fondata la terra sulle sue basi; Giammai in perpetuo non sarà smossa.
