Psalm 8:6-9 Part 3 of 3

You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, all the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!


all flocks and herds 
Genesis 13:5-6  Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.
Genesis 26:14  He (Isaac) had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

and the animals of the wild 
Genesis 2:19-20  Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea 
Genesis 1:26  Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all creatures that move along the ground.

Psalm 8:6-9 Part 2 of 3

You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, all the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You put everything under their feet

1 Corinthians 15:25-27  For he (Christ) must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
Ephesians 1:22-23  And God placed all things under his (Christ's) feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Hebrews 2:6-8  But there is a place where someone has testified: "What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor and put everything under their feet." (Psalm 8:4-6) In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.
