Verse 27
Paul saw Jesus Christ as the person who fulfilled the prophecy recorded in Psalms 8:7. [Note: See Donald R. Glenn, "Psalms 8 and Hebrews 2 : A Case Study in Biblical Hermeneutics and Biblical Theology," in Walvoord: A Tribute, pp. 44-45; and Martin Pickup, "New Testament Interpretation of the Old Testament: The Theological Rationale of Midrashic Exegesis," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 51:2 (June 2008):353-81.] In the psalm the ruler in view is man, but He will be the Man who regained for humanity all that Adam lost (cf. Psalms 110:1). Of course, God Himself will not be under the rule of the Son of God. He is the One who will finally bring all things into subjection to Christ.
