Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands - alluding to Genesis 1:26; Genesis 1:28, "Let us make man in our image (answering to Psalms 8:5, Thou madest him but a little lower than the 'Elohiym (H430), or angels) ... and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea (Psalms 8:8, here) ... the fowl of the air ... the cattle (Psalms 8:7) ... all the earth," answering to "Thou hast put all things under his feet," with the important difference that here, in Christ, the dominion of man is extended over "all things," universally and without exception, not only on earth, but also in heaven and hell (as Paul reasons, 1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Hebrews 2:8), God alone being excepted Compare also Genesis 9:2. "Crowned him with glory and honour" (Psalms 8:5) expresses similarly that God has made man, in Christ, His deputy-king. This earth restored is to be the scene of, His dominion (cf. Isaiah 11:4-9).
