Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"
A Psalm of David.
1: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2: 
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3: When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6: Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8: The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben.
2. Out of the mouth...ordained strength Quoted in Mt. 21:16.
4. What is man...under his feet: Quoted in Heb. 2:6-8.
5. the angels = God. Heb. Elohim, pl.
Translated angels in Heb. 2:7. Mankind was made in the image of God and was put a little lower than God, for God's plan is to create children unto Himself. Either way it is viewed, as God or angels, the result is still the same...mankind is made a little lower than those of spirit till the resurrection of the righteous.
