Verse 2: Dread fear of you shall come upon all the animals of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon all the creatures that move upon the ground and all the fishes of the sea; into your power they are delivered.
Why did dread fear of humans come upon all creatures on earth? It is because humans are only half beast; the other half is angelic, even when the soul of the singular individual is evil, or neutral, or undeveloped or minimally mature.
This angelic half terrifies and repels natural creatures that are all beast, all natural. Human are mini-gods, mini-creators, unnatural intelligences that do not and cannot ever fit in completely or easily with creatures of the natural world.
Humans are beyond nature, above nature and inimical to nature. Humans are unnatural builders and doers that must fabricate their artificial world beyond nature, in the city, far from Golden Pond.
