Psalms 104:2

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. The general glory put on by God as a garment at creation is here transferred to one department-namely, the calling forth of light, with which creation began. The light meant is not that "light which no man can approach unto" (), but that which was first unfolded at creation, and which daily illuminates us (). The Hebrew participles imply continued action. God perpetuates in His daily providence the work which He originated at creation.

Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain - like the covering spread over a tent, as the tabernacle. God did so on the second day by His word with the same ease with which one stretches out a tent-curtain (; ).
