St. Athanasius the Great

And cover Your darkness, that is, the invisible and invisible presence of the Savior with people. Around His is His settlement. In words: His village- means the holy Church in which he promised to dwell. Around Him, according to what was said: where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them(Matt. 18:20). He says this because of the darkness of what was said about Him by the Prophets, who are also called clouds.

Interpretation of the Psalms.

St. Neil of Sinai

What is said in the seventeenth psalm: “cover your darkness” (Ps. 17:12), - means that the abysses of God’s judgments are incomprehensible, unsearchable and not understood.

Letters to different topics. Markian.

St. Simeon the New Theologian

And cover thy darkness: his village is round about him: dark is the water in the clouds of air.

But lest you think that just as you were sitting in the darkness, so the Lord entered into the darkness and hid (became covered in darkness), for this Saint David also says: around His village is His. Settlement St. Paul calls this light: in the living light we are unapproachable(1 Tim. 6:16) . However, both of them, the Prophet David and the Apostle Paul, when, wanting to show that His Divinity is incomprehensible, they say alone that around His village is His and the other that He lives in the light unapproachable, they either show that God is somehow limited and described, but they use such a figurative expression for the inquisitive, as if saying to them: O foolish inquirers, do not think that our Lord and God, having ascended, entered into some darkness and hid . He always abides in the glory of His Divinity, which fills everything and is more (more expansive) than everything in which glory He abided before everything happened; but may we not perish completely from the lightning flashes of His Divinity, He laid darkness for His shelter, which covered not Him, but us, for our God, says the Scripture, eat fire(Heb. 12:29) not the righteous, but sinners.

Words (Word 45th).

Blzh. Theodoret of Cyrus

And cover thy darkness: his village is round about him: dark is the water in the clouds of air.

Evfimy Zigaben

And put it down(did) tmu for shelter(bedspread) mine.

By darkness we mean that which cannot be seen. So, the Lord created an invisible cover for himself or around himself, that is, having ascended into heaven, he hid from the eyes of the apostles. Or by darkness we can also understand the human flesh of Jesus Christ, since His Divinity was hidden in it.

Or: put darkness, i.e. He made his Divinity inaccessible to our knowledge, so that darkness strikes everyone who tries to penetrate with their minds into this depth of divine knowledge.

Around His village(canopy) His.

The prophet calls our flesh, taken by the Lord, a village, which the Lord Himself called His temple (John 2:19), because He lived in it not only ghostly, but actually, ineffably dwelling in it, as omnipotent. And the prophet said this here in order to show that Christ ascended to heaven along with his flesh and did not leave it on earth, as some false teachers unjustly claimed. Or: the prophet calls the village of God the unapproachable radiance of His Divinity, since God is in the Holy. Scripture describes, among other things, dwelling in the inaccessible light that surrounds Him, in the light that closes the being of God from us and makes Him inaccessible to those who want to contemplate Him with their own eyes.

The water is dark in the clouds of air.

The prophet calls the mystery about Christ water, the prophecy about Him clouds; Thus, his words receive the meaning that the prophecies relating to Jesus Christ and contained in the Scriptures of the prophets are generally dark and difficult to understand during their fulfillment. The prophet calls this mystery water because it has a refreshing effect on those who have hitherto been mired in error. He called prophecies clouds for the reason that they, as if in some fog, usually hide within themselves what they are talking about. Word air added to them in order to express the purity of their contemplation. However, in St. In the Scriptures, prophecies in general are sometimes called clouds, and not even rarely. So, for example, the prophet Isaiah, having called the house of Israel a vineyard in one place, immediately mentions the clouds to which God’s command was given so that they would no longer give rain to this vineyard (Isa. 5, 6 and 7), i.e. the prophets ceased their prophecies among the people of Israel.

Prot. Sergiy Ternovsky

Art. 12-14 And set His cover in the darkness: His village is round about Him: the waters are dark in the clouds of the air. From the shedding before Him came clouds, hail, and coals of fire. And the Lord roared from Heaven, and the Most High gave His voice

You see a dark, thick cloud; it seems that it has crushed your feelings, the life of nature is lurking in some mysterious silence, everything is gloomy, you want to see, you don’t see and seem to be giving yourself up to sleep. Suddenly lightning flashes and thunder shakes the air; it awakens the life of nature, softens the air and fertilizes the earth; awakens you too. You see a light that calls you from the earthly to the heavenly. So it is in the matter of our salvation: faith, like an impenetrable cloud, hides secrets from you heavenly life; as if it lies on your mind and suppresses its activity; everything seems gloomy to you, everything is incomprehensible, but suddenly, like lightning, some extraordinary feeling flashes in your soul; at the same time it awakens you, brings you into fear, and gives birth to joy. Then what seemed incomprehensible to you is revealed to you more clearly; It’s as if you see the Lord before you, then you can say: we believe in Him! Some light shines on you; He is together and creates the meek your heart, and awakens in you the power to do good. Hold on to this feeling; by the grace of God, it will be repeated and will lead you to the beatific vision of the Lord.

It seems that St. was in this position. the prophet, when he says: close your darkness, the water is dark in the clouds of the air, because the clouds before him have been shed. And the Lord roared from heaven, and the Most High gave His voice.

Cover your darkness around His village, the water is dark... His village is surrounded by darkness air water, or gloomy clouds. This prophet depicts the incomprehensibility of the being of God. According to Theodore, bow the heavens means the descent of God onto earth; summer, summer on the windy wing, the sudden appearance of the Lord: the clouds were shed. Afan. Alexander. words: the waters were dark in the clouds of the air; from the shedding of the clouds before Him came the clouds, hail and coals of fire, explains as follows: dark water in the clouds of air- He says this because of the darkness of what was said about Him by the prophets, who are also called clouds. From the leafing of the clouds before Him came- the light of His coming made the prophecies clear. Hail and coals of fire- and since there are also threats in the prophecies, he presented this too under the image of hail and coals. Just as from the illumination of the sermon the apostles passed before Him like clouds and watered the world, so the hail serves as an image various executions, defined by unbelievers, which after the ascension of the Lord actually comprehended His enemies, I mean mental enemies. For just as, liberating the Israelites from Egypt, he rained hail and fire, so, liberating all nations from working for demons, he rained hail and coals of fire. And these were the punitive forces with which he overthrew the mental Egyptians: Tv. St. Rev., Part IV, Art. 89. Art. 46. The sons have fallen into need and are lame from their paths. Calling themselves my sons, they made themselves sons of strangers, they became weak and strayed from the path of righteousness.
