New International Reader's Version

Psalm 8:4-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. What is a human being that you think about him? What is a son of man that you take care of him?

5. You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings. You placed on him a crown of glory and honor.

6. You made human beings the rulers over all that your hands have created. You put everything under their control.

7. They rule over all flocks and herds and over the wild animals.

8. They rule over the birds of the air and over the fish in the ocean. They rule over everything that swims in the oceans.
