Psalms 8:4-9 ▼

4 Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,

5 and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? You grant mankind honor and majesty;

6 you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority,

7 including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,

8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!
