And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth. And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them. And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.

What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account? For you have made him only a little lower than the gods, crowning him with glory and honour. You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet; read more.
All sheep and oxen, and all the beasts of the field; The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth!

The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.
