all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,
Psalms 8:7, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Psalm 8 is David's hymn of wonder at God's majesty and at the surprising dignity he gives human beings. In verses 6 through 8 he unpacks the dominion announced in verse 5, and this line names the first category under human care: sheep and oxen, the domesticated animals, before widening the scope to the wild beasts of the field.
