Psa. 104:2,6• 2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
 6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. (Psa. 104:2,6)
• Astronomy marks these varying changes of place, and of time as well. All is perfect, and all sings His praise who commanded and maintains it. “Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to sing” (Ps. 65:8, marg.) (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• As the mark of the signet-ring upon the formless clay, so the light stamps upon the face of the earth the varied forms and colors of all things. They stand out like a lovely garment—or the reverse, a scene of ruin—under the light. The light shows all things as they are: “Whatsoever doth make manifest is light” (Eph. 5:13). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
