Psalms 104:2,3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

What a sweet and lovely description is given of Jehovah covering himself with light! And, if we construe the expression, as we certainly may, without violence to the general sense of the passage, we may behold in it Jehovah's covering himself with light in the manifestation of himself to our souls, in the person of Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son which is the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him; John 1:18. And considered in this point of view, how truly blessed is the passage, In thy light shall we see light; Psalms 36:9. I hope the reader will forgive me, if, while I desire to enter, with him, into the full enjoyment of all the beauties this hymn of praise contains, in adoring Jehovah in the works of his creation and providence; I still look beyond the works of God in nature, to behold, in what is here said, very striking allusions to his works of grace. Jehovah hath indeed laid the beams of his chambers in the waters, and founded his earth upon the floods. But hath he not also founded the everlasting beams of his covenant love in redemption, in the chambers of all his divine perfections; and doth he not call upon his people to enter into them, as a security in Christ against all danger, when the Lord cometh out of his place, to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity? - Isaiah 26:20-21.
