Psalms 97:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 97:2
The imagery of clouds and darkness surrounding God echoes Exodus 19-20 (Sinai theophany) and emphasizes divine mystery and transcendence. Yet this obscurity doesn't indicate capriciousness—rather, 'righteousness and judgment' (tsedeq u-mishpat) are His throne's foundation. This paradox teaches that while God's ways may be beyond our comprehension, His character is absolutely trustworthy. Reformed theology emphasizes both God's incomprehensibility (we cannot fully know Him) and His revelation (He has made Himself known truly, if not exhaustively).
