Psalms 8

¹O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
above the heavens.

²From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

³When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,

⁴what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?

⁵You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:

⁷all flocks and herds,
and the beasts of the field,

⁸the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

⁹O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

In God’s order of creation, God made man a little lower than the angels.

• Do you think it will always be that way?

Read the following passage and see if you'll still give the same answer.

1 Corinthians 6:3

³Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
