Psalms 8:7 In-Context

5 You have made him a little lower than yourself. You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have made him rule what your hands created. You have put everything under his control:

7 all the sheep and cattle, the wild animals,

8 the birds, the fish, whatever swims in the currents of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth!
