Translation and Interpretation in Psalm 8:5

Drew at Truth and Repose has posted on the sometimes slippery distinction between translation and interpretation, looking in detail at Psalm 8:5 (“What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor” [emphasis added]).

The post touches not only on the internal evidence for certain translations of this verse but also how to translate a passage in the light of New Testament interpretation.
