Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 26:9

9. He holdeth back the face of his throne , and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

i. e. To wit, from our view, that its lustre and glory should not reach us, and so dazle our sight, he covereth it with a Cloud, as the next words explain it. Or, He holdeth fast, or binds together, or strengthens it, that it may be able to bear that burden.

Either 1. this lower Air, which is as the Face or open part of the Heavens, which is often called God's Throne, as ▪ salm 11. 4. Isa. 66. 1. Amos 9. 6. Or 2. the appearance or manifestation of the Heaven of Heavens where he dwelleth, whose light and glory is too great for mortal eyes, which therefore by Clouds and other ways he hides from us.
