Psalms104:2

2 Who coverest thy self with light , as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain .

Or adornest or clothest.

Either 1. with that light which no man can approach unto, as it is called 1 Tim. 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 Gods visible works.

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.
