Psalm 8:4-8
New Living Translation
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?[a]
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God[b]
and crowned them[c] with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
Psalm 100:3

We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Genesis 9:2-4
New Living Translation
2 All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power. 3 I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables. 4 But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.

Isaiah 64:8
New Living Translation
8 And yet, O Lord, you are our Father.
We are the clay, and you are the potter.
We all are formed by your hand.
Hebrews 2:6-9
New Living Translation
6 For in one place the Scriptures say,
“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
or a son of man[a] that you should care for him?
7 Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.[b]
8 You gave them authority over all things.”[c]
Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. 9 What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.

into their dens to rest.
23 Then people go off to their work,
where they labor until evening.

In wisdom you have made them all.
The earth is full of your creatures.
