The Lord Will

Psalm 104:2

β€œWho coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:”

KJV

Read in Psalm 104

Meaning

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

Respect the psalm's poetic genre while receiving its theological claim that creation is God's work.
