Covering
Isa 30.1 AKJV - Woe to the rebellious children, said the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: (they tried to defend themselves by alliances, plans, etc instead of by his Spirit)
Adam and Eve: they lost their covering, a covering of light, when they sinned, they then knew or saw that they were naked, and hid.
Exod 35:12 KJV - The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering, the ark and the staves thereof,....
1 Cor 10:1
For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
Gen 20:4 KJV - But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Gen 20:7 KJV - Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Gen 20:16 KJV - And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

(Commentator: on Psalm 105:39)
"He spread a cloud for a covering." Never were people so favoured. What would not travellers in the desert now give for such a canopy? The sun could not scorch them with its burning ray; their whole camp was screened like a king in his pavilion. Nothing seemed to be too good for God to give his chosen nation, their comfort was studied in every way. "And fire to give light in the night." While cities were swathed in darkness, their town of tents enjoyed a light which modern art with all its appliances cannot equal. God himself was their sun and shield, their glory and their defence. Could they be unbelieving while so graciously shaded, or rebellious while they walked at midnight in such a light? Alas, the tale of their sin is as extraordinary as this story of his love; but this Psalm selects the happier theme and dwells only upon covenant love and faithfulness. O give thanks unto the Lord for he is good. We, too, have found the Lord all this to us, for he has been our sun and shield, and has preserved us alike from the perils of ivys and the evils of grief…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
39. covering—in sense of protection (compare Ex 13:21; Nu 10:34). In the burning sands of the desert the cloud protected the congregation from the heat of the sun; an emblem of God's protecting favor of His people, as interpreted by Isaiah (Isa 4:5, 6; compare Nu 9:16).

Isa 4:5 KJV - And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. (defence, margin says: covering.)
(Additionally, the word 'defence' in the bible is concordance-wise translated along with the idea of covering, shield, defensive bulwarks.)

Psa 27:5 KJV - For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
(He will hide the remnant (144,000) in his secret pavilion as they go through the last of our future earth-time. These will have light in their dwelling.)

Addendum: I should have said...
Zec 13:1 KJV - In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
Correction: I found it! I should have said, ‘a fountain opened’, not a covering. And the two things it would be for: sin and uncleanness. These two things belong to Justification and Sanctification—the two major parts of Salvation. The word sin in the verse has to do with guilt, being classed or judged as guilty. The word uncleanness has to do with moral character (which see the definition of –ness) The fountain is, of course, Jesus and the cross: God’s answer to the sin problem during this period of earth time--and the universe as well. This fountain, like a flood, comes out and covers us. The aspect of covering is intimately related (and vitally so) to this Fountain. Additionally, doesn't the latter rain come down upon us as an overflowing flood in the last days?
