Psalm 144:3-4

O LORD, what are human beings that you should notice them,

For they are like a breath of air;

    their days are like a passing shadow. 

 

Psalm 8:3-4

        and crowned them with glory and honor.

    You gave them authority over all things."  (Psalm 8:4-6)

Now when it says "all things," it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority.

James 4:13-14  

Look here, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit."
