David praises God for his manifold and marvelous blessingsFrom the brightness of His presence This phrase highlights the divine radiance and glory that emanates from God. The Hebrew word for "brightness" is "nogah," which conveys a sense of dazzling light or splendor. In the biblical context, light often symbolizes purity, holiness, and the unapproachable majesty of God. The "presence" of God, or "panim" in Hebrew, refers to His face or countenance, indicating a personal and intimate aspect of His divine nature. Historically, God's presence was associated with the Shekinah glory, a visible manifestation of God dwelling among His people, as seen in the tabernacle and the temple. This imagery reminds believers of the awe-inspiring and overwhelming nature of encountering God, who is both transcendent and immanent.

Notice how the feeling of the terrible fury of the storm is heightened by the mention of "hail," so rare in Palestine. Verse 12. - At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed.
