3 When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have established,

4 What is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

5 Yet You have made him a little lower than *8:5 LXX reads angels; Heb Elohim is usually translated "God" or "god." But it can also mean "gods" (with a lowercase "g") when it is used with reference to the pagan gods of other nations. See, for instance, Ex 20:3: "You shall have no other gods (Elohim) before Me." Since there are no capital letters in Hebrew as there are in English, the meaning of Ps 8:5 is ambiguous. It may be saying that humans were created a little lower than God Himself, or it may say that humans were created a little lower than the heavenly beings.God,

And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
