For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor.

You’ve made them only slightly less than divine, crowning them with glory and grandeur.

What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you visit him?

What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that thou visitest him?

O ye his angels, that excel in strength, bless ye the Lord; Ye who obey what he commands, and hearken to his word.

Who doth redeem thy life, that thou to death may'st not go down; Who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown:

Lord, what is man, that thou of him dost so much knowledge take? Or son of man, that thou of him so great account dost make?

For ever and for ever is, O God, thy throne of might; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre that is right.
