NLT Footnotes
Hebrew according to the gittith.
Greek version reads to give you praise. Compare Matt 21:16.
Hebrew what is man that you should think of him, / the son of man that you should care for him?
Or Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels; Hebrew reads Yet you made him [i.e., man] a little lower than Elohim.
Hebrew him [i.e., man]; similarly in 8:6.
