4
y what is man that you are z mindful of him,
and a the son of man that you b care for him?
5
Yet you have made him a little lower than c the heavenly beings
and crowned him with d glory and honor.
6
You have given him e dominion over the works of your hands;
f you have put all things under his feet,
7
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9

how majestic is your name in all the earth!
