Scripture Pages that Link to Here

Psalm 8:1-9

Psa 8:5 For you have made him a little lower than God [OR: heavenly beings], and crowned him with glory and honor.

We humans are "down here," made from the dust of the earth (and all the lowliness that may be implied by that). God and the angels are "up there" in heaven and in God's very presence (with all the "exaltedness" that may be implied by that). Yet in spite of our lowliness, God has given us a glory and honor that is not shared with any other creature. (The next few verses describe what that is.)

Psalm 146:1-10

Psa 146:3-4 Don't put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
