 * 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."
