What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful Of Him
Psalm 8
This like other psalms is a great wonder from man's perspective. But extending it further what was it that Jesus Christ, fully man, fully human would wonder the same to His father in prayer?

O the need and what better way to "let this mind be in you" and see man's condition before God and cry out to Him:
To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalm of David.
O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the world! which hast set thy glory above the heavens.

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship. Thou hast made him to have dominion in the works of thine hands: thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psalms 8:1, 3-6 GNV
