5. and make them a little less than the heavenly beings?You grant mankind honor and majesty;
6. you appoint them to rule over your creation;you have placed everything under their authority,
7. including all the sheep and cattle,as well as the wild animals,
8. the birds in the sky, the fish in the seaand everything that moves through the currents of the seas.
