Why are a cloud and darkness around Him?

1.

Radak: They are to darken on the Resha'im.

Why does it say "Tzedek u'Mishpat Mechon Kis'o"?

2.

Malbim: Even though the supreme Conductor and His Hashgachah are hidden, Shamayim's conduct, which is called Hashem's Kisei - "Hashem ba'Shamayim Hechin Kis'o" (103:19), the base of this Kisei is arranged based on laws of Tzedek and Mishpat, and reward and punishment based on the generation's deeds.
