Psalm 8:5 “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
In this passage, the Psalmist praises the LORD for the blessings which God has already bestowed upon him – and upon all of us.
He marvels at God’s mindfulness toward man and that he has given us dominion over the earth and all the creatures in it for our benefit.

“O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”
