“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?^(B)
7 You made them a little^[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
⁸     and put everything under their feet.”^[b][c](C)

³ Lord, what are human beings^(A) that you care for them,
    mere mortals that you think of them?

¹⁷ “What is mankind that you make so much of them,
    that you give them so much attention,^(A)

⁶ how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
    a human being,^(A) who is only a worm!”^(B)
