David praises God for his manifold and marvelous blessingsHe parted the heavens The phrase "He parted the heavens" signifies a divine intervention where God actively engages with the earthly realm. The Hebrew root for "parted" is "נָטָה" (natah), which means to stretch out or extend. This imagery is reminiscent of God’s sovereign power to manipulate the natural order, as seen in other biblical accounts such as the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21). Historically, the heavens were viewed as a barrier between God and humanity, and the act of parting them symbolizes God’s willingness to bridge that gap and come to the aid of His people. This action underscores the belief in a God who is not distant but intimately involved in the affairs of the world. and came down dark clouds were beneath His feet Parallel Commentaries ...
