You made people like fish in the sea, like animals in the sea 1  that have no ruler.

NET © Notes

tn The Hebrew word רֶמֶשׂ (remesh) usually refers to animals that creep, but here the referent seems to be marine animals that glide through the water (note the parallelism in the previous line). See also Ps 104:25.
