Psalms 8:7 In-Context

5 You made him but little lower than the angels, you crowned him with glory and honor,
6 you had him rule what your hands made, you put everything under his feet -
7 sheep and oxen, all of them, also the animals in the wilds,
8 the birds in the air, the fish in the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 ADONAI! Our Lord! How glorious is your name throughout the earth!
