Hebrews 2:7

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

You made him a little bit lower than the angels [i.e., a little less exalted]. [Note: Although these Psalms passages referred to mankind, they are here applied to Jesus. See verse 9]. You crowned him with splendor and honor {some ancient manuscripts add the following phrase} “and placed him as ruler over what you made”.
