That art in—Directly in, fully in, guiding, controlling.
The clefts—The apparent fractures or injuries.
Of the rock—The Kingdom; the Stone cut out without hands.
In the secret places—The dark corners of life's experiences, where we halt trembling and afraid.
Of the stairs—The stepping stones by which we ascend to the Heavenly City.
Let me see Thy countenance—“I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy likeness.”
Let me hear Thy voice—“The sheep follow Him; for they know His voice.”
For sweet is Thy voice—“Grace is poured into Thy lips.”
And Thy countenance is comely—“I will that they may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory.”
2:15. Take us the foxes—Take away from us the sly faults, originating in the deceitful mind of the flesh.
