Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 8:6

"Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:" — Psalms 8:6 (ASV)

The poet continues, in a rapturous strain, to complete the cycle of animated nature, and to describe man’s kingship over all other created beings. For St. Paul’s expansion of the thought, and elevation of it into yet a higher sphere, see 1 Corinthians 15:27.
