Psalms 8:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 8:7
This verse continues the recitation of humanity's dominion over creation from verse 6. The specific mention of domestic animals (sheep and oxen) and wild animals (beasts of the field) reflects the Genesis mandate where humanity was given rule over all creatures. The Hebrew 'aleph' (oxen) and 'tson' (sheep) represent humanity's agricultural dominion. This dominion was damaged by the Fall but ultimately restored in Christ, the second Adam. Hebrews 2:6-8 applies this psalm messianically, noting we don't yet see all things subject to humanity, but we see Jesus.
