What does Psalm 8:4 mean?
When David scanned the night sky, he felt insignificant and wondered why such a magnificent Creator would care about man. The Hebrew for "man" in this verse is actually the term enos, subtly different from the term ā'dām typically used to refer to mankind. Enos signifies the individual person, while "the son of man" refers to people in general. The emphasis here is on the individual human as a "weak, mortal man."God has shown His care of humans in several ways. He created our first parents only after He had created a world that was ready for them. The sun, moon, and stars provided light for them, the plants were a food source, the climate was ideal for sustaining life, and Adam and Eve enjoyed their life together on a paradise. In addition to providing a suitable environment for humans, God showed His love and care by giving His Son as our Redeemer. John 3:16 emphasizes the extent of God's love for us by giving His only begotten Son so we would receive everlasting life by believing on Him.
Also, God shows His care of us by providing our daily needs and by inviting us to talk to Him about all our concerns (Matthew 6:33; Hebrews 4:14–16).
