Psalms 8:6 - Exposition

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. An evident reference to Genesis 1:28 , "Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." By these words man's right of dominion was established. His actual dominion only came, and still comes, by degrees. Thou hast put all things under his feet. In their fulness, the words are only true of the God-Man, Jesus Christ ( Matthew 28:18 ).
