¹ [To the chiefe Musicion vpon Gittith, a Psalme of Dauid.] O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

³ When I consider thy heauens, the worke of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordained;

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindfull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

⁵ For thou hast made him a little lower then the Angels; and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

⁶ Thou madest him to haue dominion ouer the workes of thy hands; thou hast put all things vnder his feete.

⁷ All sheepe and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field.

⁸ The foule of the aire, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoeuer passeth through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Ann Richards's Psalms Chapter 8 comment about verse 5 on 3/17/2013, 1:30pm...

Since we are created in the image and likeness of God, as far as Psalms 8:5 states that we were created a little lower than God (NASV), therefore our position in God is a very significant one, and we must not take what God has done in us lightly. Since we will judge angels, this tells me we are in a higher state than these angels themselves, 1 Corinthians 6:3 says "we" shall judge angels, so think on that, and don't be afraid to say " I am created a little lower than God." Know who you are and be thankful that God holds you in such high esteem.

It’s a comforting chapter, just have to read and understand the words. GOD is good every time.

@HARRY,
Jesus is not Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Jesus is The Son, God is The Father and Holy Ghost is The Holy Spirit! Jesus, when the 1,000 year rule is over will turn everything over to God who will rule forever! When Jesus went to heaven to sit on the right hand of God, then God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us. Please let’s rightly divide The Word! God The Father, Jesus The Son and The Holy Spirit are one!

@Ken,
Regarding "natural paths", please bear in mind that the Psalms are generally regarded as being songs or poetry. They were translated from the original Hebrew into (in this case with the KJV) Old English. The terminology here is intended to be poetic rather than scientific, as is the case with most poetry even today. The phrase "passeth through the paths" is an alliteration. Sometimes the passages need to be appreciated for their lyrical literary value and of course the blessing that they can be to those with an open heart.

It is actually one of my favorite books of the Bible. If anyone reads this will you pray everyday 2 or 3 times a day for a prayer list of your own that you made up. It may be small in the beginning and the more it grows, the more time you get to spend with God. It will do wonders for your life and the people you pray for. I challenge someone to do this I dare you. It has done a huge part in my life. Thanks.

Again, what scientific fact or principle is, "Oceans have natural paths in them"?
Oceans have currents, sure, which are apparent to any sailor or coastal dweller who pays attention, but what are "natural paths" exactly?
