Psalm 8
1. God's glory is magnified by his works, and by his love to man














(8) And whatsoever passeth.--This is more poetical than to render "the fish of the sea who pass," &c.

Paths of the seas.--Comp. Homer's ???? ???????. The repetition of the first thought of the poem, binding' the contents together as in a wreath, is the one touch of art it displays.

Verse 8. - The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas; literally, fowl of the air, and fishes of the sea, the passer through the paths of the seas. Every passer through the paths of the seas, whether exactly a fish or no. The cetacea are thus included (comp. Genesis 1:21).
