Psalm 104:2
βWho coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:β
KJV
Read in Psalm 104Meaning
Poetic imagery communicates divine majesty and sovereignty. It should not be forced into a modern technical model of the cosmos.
The Creator clothed in majesty
The opening portrays God's splendor through light, heavens, clouds, wind, and flame.
Read carefully
Its purpose is theological praise expressed through poetry.
Reflection
