Barnes's Psalms 105:39 Bible Commentary

He spread a cloud for a covering - See the notes at Psalm 78:14. In Numbers 10:34; it is said that "the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day," and from this seems to have been derived the idea of its "covering" them, as if it were a protection from the heat in the desert.

Wesley's Psalms 105:39 Bible Commentary

105:39 Covering - To protect them from the heat of the sun.
