Psalms 8:3

The Glory of the Lord in Creation

To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, our Lord,
How ^aexcellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have ^bset Your glory above the heavens!

2 ^aOut of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have¹ ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence ^bthe enemy and the avenger.

3 When I ^aconsider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

4 ^aWhat is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You ^bvisit him?

5 For You have made him a little lower than¹ the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

6 ^aYou have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
^bYou have put all things under his feet,

7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,

Psalm 8:3-5

By the way, this is quoted again in Hebrews 2:7, when it is speaking about the Son of Man, showing that Jesus was made a little lower than the angels because He became a human being, but He would be made greater and rule, unlike the angels.
