is usually translated "God" or "god." But it can also mean "gods" (with a lowercase "g") when it is used with reference to other divine beings, such as the pagan gods of other nations and
or angels. See, for instance, Ex 20:3: "You shall have no other gods (
Elohim)
before Me." Since there are no capital letters in Hebrew as there are in English, the meaning of Ps 8:5 is ambiguous. It may be saying that humans were created a little lower than God Himself, or it may say that humans were created a little lower than the heavenly beings.
