Psalms 8:7 In-Context

5 For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field,

8 The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 LORD, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the eretz!
