King James Version (KJV)

Psalms 8:5

“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”

Verse in context — Psalms 8

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

A collection of prayers, songs, and praises expressing the full range of human emotions.
