Psalm 8:3-9

English Standard Version

³When I ^(A)look at your heavens, the work of your ^(B)fingers,
the moon and the stars, ^(C)which you have set in place,
⁴^(D)what is man that you are ^(E)mindful of him,
and ^(F)the son of man that you ^(G)care for him?

⁵Yet you have made him a little lower than ^(H)the heavenly beings^[a]
    and crowned him with ^(I)glory and honor.
⁶You have given him ^(J)dominion over the works of your hands;
    ^(K)you have put all things under his feet,
⁷all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
⁸the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

⁹O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Future Glory

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(A)are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹For the creation waits with eager longing for ^(B)the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰For the creation ^(C)was subjected to futility, not willingly, but ^(D)because of him who subjected it, in hope ²¹that ^(E)the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²²For we know that ^(F)the whole creation ^(G)has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. ²³And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^(H)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(I)groan inwardly as ^(J)we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^(K)the redemption of our bodies.
