2 [you] who cover [yourself] with light as [with] a garment, who stretch out [the] heavens like a tent curtain,

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 Bless Yahweh, O my soul. O Yahweh my God, you are very great. You clothe yourself [with] splendor and majesty,

2 [you] who cover [yourself] with light as [with] a garment, who stretch out [the] heavens like a tent curtain,

3 the one who sets beams in the waters [for] his upper chambers, who makes clouds his chariot, who rides on [the] wings of [the] wind,

4 who makes his messengers [the] winds, his attendants a flame of fire.

5 He established [the] earth on her foundations, [so that] it will not be moved forever and ever.
