6 But one has [solemnly] testified somewhere [in Scripture], saying,

What is man, that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man, that You graciously care for him?
7

You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
(a)And set him over the works of Your hands;

Earth Subject to Man

8

You have put all things in subjection under his feet [confirming his supremacy].”


Now in putting all things in subjection to man, He left nothing outside his control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him.(A)
