Psaume 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.

Psaume 104:2 In-Context

1 Mon âme, bénis l'Eternel! Eternel, mon Dieu, tu es infiniment grand! Tu es revêtu d'éclat et de magnificence!

2 Il s'enveloppe de lumière comme d'un manteau; Il étend les cieux comme un pavillon.

3 Il forme avec les eaux le faîte de sa demeure; Il prend les nuées pour son char, Il s'avance sur les ailes du vent.

4 Il fait des vents ses messagers, Des flammes de feu ses serviteurs.

5 Il a établi la terre sur ses fondements, Elle ne sera jamais ébranlée.
