SEV Biblia, Chapter 104:2
El que se cubre de luz como de vestidura, que extiende los cielos como una cortina;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 103:2
Verse 2. Who coverest thyself with light ] Light, insufferable splendour, is the robe of the Divine Majesty. Light and fire are generally the accompaniments of the Supreme Being, when he manifests his presence to his creatures. He appeared thus to Abraham when he made a covenant with him, Gen. xv. 17; and to Moses when he appointed him to bring the people out of Egypt, Exod. iii. 2; and when he gave him his law on Sinai, Exodus xix. 18. Moses calls God a consuming fire, Deut. iv. 24. When Christ was transfigured on the mount, his face shone like the sun, and his garment was white as the light, Matt. xvii. 2. And when the Lord manifests himself to the prophets, he is always surrounded with fire, and the most brilliant light. Bishop Lowth has some fine remarks on the imagery and metaphors of this Psalm. The exordium, says he, is peculiarly magnificent, wherein the majesty of God is described, so far as we can investigate and comprehend it, from the admirable construction of nature; in which passage, as it was for the most part necessary to use translatitious images, the sacred poet has principally applied those which would be esteemed by the Hebrews the most elevated, and worthy such an argument; for they all, as it seems to me, are taken from the tabernacle. We will give these passages verbally, with a short illustration: - tbl rdhw dwh hod vehadar labashta. "Thou hast put on honour and majesty." The original, tbl , is frequently used when speaking of the clothing or dress of the priests.
Verse 2. hmlk rwa hf[ oteh or cassalmah.
"Covering thyself with light as with a garment." A manifest symbol of the Divine Presence; the light conspicuous in the holiest is pointed out under the same idea; and from this single example a simile is educed to express the ineffable glory of God generally and universally.
h[yryk µym hfwn noteh shamayim kayeriah.
"Stretching out the heavens like a curtain." The word h[yry , rendered here curtain, is that which denotes the curtains or uncovering of the whole tabernacle. This may also be an allusion to those curtains or awnings, stretched over an area, under which companies sit at weddings, feasts, religious festivals, curiously painted under, to give them the appearance of the visible heavens in the night-season.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - Every object we behold calls on us to bless and praise the Lord, who is great. His eternal power and Godhead are clearly shown by the thing which he hath made. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The Lord Jesus, the Son of his love, is the Light of the world.
