Humanity's Broken Dominion
Commentators explain that this verse first highlights God's original design for humanity to have complete dominion over all creation, as described in Psalm 8. However, it immediately points to our current reality: we do not see this perfect rule. Due to the fall, man's dominion is broken and incomplete, evidenced by natural disasters, disease, and untamed nature. This sets the stage for a greater fulfillment.
