Psalms 8:6

6 you appoint them to rule over your creation; ^{▼▼ Heb “you cause [i.e., “permit, allow”] him to rule over the works of your hands.”}
you have placed ^{▼▼ The perfect verbal form probably has a present perfect nuance here. It refers to the continuing effects of God’s original mandate (see Gen 1:26–30).} everything under their authority, ^{▼▼ Heb “under his feet.”} ^{▼▼ Placed everything under their authority. This verse affirms that mankind rules over God’s creation as his vice-regent. See Gen 1:26–30.}
