עֲנָנֵי יְקָרָא וַאֲמִטְתָא חֲזוֹר חֲזוֹר דִי לֵיהּ צִדְקְתָא וְדִינָא אֲתַר דִי מְכַוָן כּוּרְסֵיהּ.
1. cloud and thick darkness | עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל – See Radak and Hoil Moshe that these are a metaphor for the calamities to befall the wicked when Hashem judges them. The verse states that only when the evil are punished will it be apparent to all that God's kinship is founded in righteousness. Cf. Sforno and Metzudat David that the phrase refers to Hashem's general cloaking of Himself in "the thickness of the cloud" (Shemot 19:9) so that no one can see Him.
