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.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
