Psalms 8:8

Psa 8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

Ver. 8. The fowl of the air ] These Moses seemeth to have forgotten, in that discontented speech of his, Numbers 11:22 , but God sent those murmmurers such a drift of quails (meat of kings, with their bread of angels) as he could not have imagined or hoped for.

And the fish of the sea ] Piscis of Pasco. Many islands are maintained and people fed by fish. In the Hebrew the same word signifieth a pond, or fish pool, and a blessing. And surely it is a blessing to any country that they have plenty and dainty of these good creatures.

And whatsoever passeth, &c. ] As whales, and other great fishes, which make a smooth path in a calm sea, as a ship or a boat doth, Job 41:32 , &c. See Trapp on " Job 41:32 "
