This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Coverest, or adornest, or clothest. With light; either,



1. With that light which no man can approach unto, as it is called 1Ti_6:16, wherewith therefore he may well be said to be covered or hid from the eyes of mortal men. Or rather,



2. With that first-created light, Gen_1:3, which the psalmist fitly puts in the first place, as being the first of God’s visible works.



Like a curtain; the use whereof it hath, partly in reference to that glorious mansion of the blessed God and his holy angels, which these visible heavens (far above which it is, Eph_4:10) do veil and cover; and partly in reference to the earth, which they enclose and protect.
