Psalms 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

Psalms 8:6 Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

Psalms 8:8 The birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
