Psalms 8:3–5 (WEB)
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.
Central Idea
The Lord of the heavens has chosen mortal man to be His vice-regent, crowning him with dignity and personal care.
Authorial Intent
