Psalm 8:5-9
New King James Version
5 For You have made him a little lower than [a]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 (A)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
(B)You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
9 (C)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
