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 I will praise the Lord. LORD my God, you are very great. You are dressed in glory and majesty.
2 You wrap yourself in light as if it were a robe. You spread the heavens out like a tent.
3 You build your palace high in the heavens. You make the clouds serve as your chariot. You ride on the wings of the wind.
4 You make the winds serve as your messengers. You make flashes of lightning serve you.
5 You placed the earth on its foundations. It can never be moved.
