3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—

the moon and the stars you set in place—

4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,

human beings that you should care for them?*8:4 Hebrew what is man that you should think of him, / the son of man that you should care for him?

5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God*8:5a Or Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels; Hebrew reads Yet you made him [i.e., man] a little lower than Elohim.

and crowned them*8:5b Hebrew him [i.e., man]; similarly in 8:6. with glory and honor.
