Psalm 104:2

Psalm 104:2

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

a. ASV: Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

b. YLT: Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,

c. Classic Amplified: [You are the One] Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain or a tent,

d. Septuagint [Psalm 104:2 in our Bible is Psalm 103:2 in the Septuagint]: Who dost robe thyself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.

e. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/ Writings: Covering with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a curtain. 

1. “Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment…”

a. [You] cover [thyself] [Strong: 5844 `atah aw-taw' a primitive root; to wrap, i.e. cover, veil, cloth, or roll:--array self, be clad, (put a) cover (-ing, self), fill, put on, X surely, turn aside.]

b. [with] light [Strong: 216 'owr ore from 215; illumination or (concrete) luminary (in every sense, including lightning, happiness, etc.):--bright, clear, + day, light (-ning), morning, sun.]

c. [as with a] garment [Strong: 8008 salmah sal-maw' transp. for 8071; a dress:--clothes, garment, raiment.]

1). For years as a younger Christian I would wonder how Adam and Eve could be naked and not be ashamed.

a). Genesis 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.

2). After Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, an ungodly and wicked transformation occurred within them. Much could be written that is written elsewhere in my notes [Genesis 3:7]. To make a long story short. Previous to their eating, partaking of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”, they did not know shame, but afterward they knew they were naked and were ashamed.   

3). Adam and Eve were clothed with the glory and honor like their Father God. There are many things we can be clothed with over our physical bodies and our spirits.

a). 2 Chronicles 6:41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

b). Job 8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

c). Job 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

d). Luke 24:49 [Classic Amplified] And behold, I will send forth upon you what My Father has promised; but remain in the city [Jerusalem] until you are clothed with power from on high.

2. “...who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:”

a. [who] stretchest [out] [Strong: 5186 natah naw-taw' a primitive root; to stretch or spread out; by implication, to bend away (including moral deflection); used in a great variety of application (as follows):--+ afternoon, apply, bow (down, - ing), carry aside, decline, deliver, extend, go down, be gone, incline, intend, lay, let down, offer, outstretched, overthrown, pervert, pitch, prolong, put away, shew, spread (out), stretch (forth, out), take (aside), turn (aside, away), wrest, cause to yield.]

b. [the] heavens [Strong: 8064 shamayim shaw-mah'-yim dual of an unused singular shameh {shaw-meh'}; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):--air, X astrologer, heaven(-s).]

c. [like a] curtain [Strong: 3407 yriy`ah yer-ee-aw' from 3415; a hanging (as tremulous):--curtain.]

1). Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
