* as a curtain.
Or, "as a thin veil," as Bp. Lowth renders; which he
illustrates by the following passage from Dr. Shaw. "It is
usual in the summer season, and upon all occasions when a
large company is to be received, to have the court sheltered
from heat, or inclemency of the weather by a {velum,}
umbrella, or veil, as I shall call it; which, being expanded
on ropes from one end of the parapet to the other, may be
folded or unfolded at pleasure. The Psalmist seems to allude
to some covering of this kind, in that beautiful expression of
spreading out the heavens as a curtain."
