Psalms 104:2
He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,
BSB
ASV
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
KJV
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: wrapping the light about him as a monarch puts on his robe. The conception is sublime: but it makes us feel how altogether inconceivable the personal glory of the Lord must be; if light itself is but his garment and veil, what must be the blazing splendour of his own essential being! We are lost in astonishment, and dare not pry into the mystery lest we be blinded by its insufferable glory. Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain—within which he might dwell.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
