Exegesis
This parallels sevivotav {סְבִיבֹתָיו | sə-vî-ḇō-ṯāw} and sukkato {סֻכָּתוֹ | suk-ka-tō}, both construct forms with third person masculine singular suffixes, to emphasize divine enclosure.
In context — Psalm 18:11
He made darkness His covering ; His surroundings and His canopy were the darkness of the waters and the thick clouds of the skies.
