# Clouds and darkness surround him

AT: "He is righteous and just in everything he does" or "He is able to rule because he rules righteously and justly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

Here "the foundation of his throne" refers to how Yahweh rules his kingdom. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
