Psalms 8:8 Cross References - Coverdale

⁸ The foules of the ayre: the fysh of the see, and what so walketh thorow the wayes of the see.

²⁰ And God sayde: let the waters brynge forth creatures that moue and haue life, & foules for to flye aboue the earth vnder the firmamet of heauen. ²¹ And God created greate whalles, and all maner of creatures that lyue and moue, which the waters brought forth euery one after his kynde: and all maner of fethered foules, euery one after his kynde. And God sawe that it was good, ²² and blessed them, sayenge: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the waters of the sees, and let the foules multiplie vpon the earth. ²³ Then of the euenynge and mornynge was made the fifth daye. ²⁴ And God sayde: let ye earth brynge forth lyuynge soules, euery one after his kynde: catell, wormes & what as hath life vpon earth, euery one after his kynde. And so it came to passe. ²⁵ And God made ye beastes of the earth euery one after his kynde, and catell after their kynde, and all maner wormes of the earth after their kynde. And God sawe that it was good.

³⁹ Huntest thou the praye fro the Lyon, or fedest thou his whelpes

¹⁵ Beholde, the cruell beaste (whom I made wt the) which eateth haye as an oxe: ¹⁶ lo, how stronge he is in his loynes, and what power he hath in the nauell of his body. ¹⁷ He spredeth out his tale like a Cedre tre, all his vaynes are stiff. ¹⁸ His shynnes are like pipes off brasse, his rygge bones are like staues of yro ¹⁹ First when God made him, he ordened the wyldernesse for him, ²⁰ yt the mountaynes shulde geue him grasse, where all the beastes off the felde take their pastyme. ²¹ He lyeth amoge the redes in the Mosses, the fennes ²² hyde him with their shadowe, and the wylowes of the broke couer him rounde aboute. ²³ Lo, without eny laboure might he drynke out the whole floude, and suppe off Iordane without eny trauayle. ²⁴ Who darre laye honde vpon him openly, and vndertake to catch him? Or, who darre put an hoke thorow his nose, ad laye a snare for him?

¹⁵ His body is couered with scales as it were with shyldes, lockte in, kepte, and well copacte together. ¹⁶ One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: ¹⁷ Yee one hangeth so vpon another, and sticke so together, that they can not be sundered. ¹⁸ His nesinge is like a glisteringe fyre, and his eyes like the mornynge shyne. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go torches and fyre brandes, ²⁰ out off his nostrels there goeth a smoke, like as out off an hote seetinge pott. ²¹ His breth maketh the coales burne, the flame goeth out of his mouth. ²² In his necke remayneth strength, and before his face sorowe is turned to gladnesse. ²³ The membres of his body are ioyned so strayte one to another, and cleue so fast together, that he can not be moued. ²⁴ His hert is as harde as a stone, ad as fast as the styth ye that the hammer man smyteth vpon. ²⁵ When he goeth: the mightiest off all are afrayed, and the wawes heuy. ²⁶ Yff he drawe out the swearde, there maye nether speare ner brest plate abyde him. ²⁷ He setteth as moch by a strawe as by yro, and as moch by a rotten stocke as by metall. ²⁸ He starteth not awaye for him that bendeth the bowe, & as for slynge stones, he careth as moch for stubble as for them ²⁹ He counteth the hammer no better then a strawe, he laugheth him to scorne that shaketh the speare. ³⁰ He treadeth the golde in the myre like ye sharpe potsherdes. ³¹ He maketh the depe to seeth and boyle like a pott, and stereth the see together like an oyntment. ³² The waye is light after him, the depe is his walkynge place. ³³ Vpon earth is there no power like vnto his, for he is so made, that he feareth not. ³⁴ Yff a man will cosidre all hye thinges, this same is a kynge ouer all the children off pryde.

¹⁰ Beastes and all catell, wormes & fethered foules.
