Psalm 8

 Incorporated into All things Under His Feet.

"Yahweh in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thine hands" (Heb 9.10). Isaiah says we are inscribed on the palms of his hands, the dominion of these same works of the hand in Psalm 8. Inscribed in the palms all the arc of our lives, etched in our lives, Psalm 82.6 says, "you are all Elohim" which backgrounds the same of John 10.34, a crux in Psalm 8 which says "you  are a little lower than the Elohim." Elohim explicated in Hebrew by Maimonides is a multiple layered homonym. That He was made a little lower than the angels is applied to Messiah in Hebrews 2.6-9, which quotes Psalm 8 at length, so there's no need to think it is our residual soul power spoken of. It is the redeemed of Messiah and Messiah himself. Around the dinner table the self-worthy claim themselves to be gods from Genesis all the way to the theosophists. See The Stars As Gods.

The Vatican philosophers now say a middle is needed between human and angels and that the Exojets, or if you like, the Bugger-Aliens, are to serve their purpose. But  Psalm 8 seems to equivocate saying He has given us dominion over the work of His hands but has put all things under our feet, Thou hast put all things under his feet even if he is made a little lower than the angels. This is man, but Messiah is the proof of our feet. This comes in  Hebrews 2.8, 10.13, Ephesians 1.22, I Cor 15.27. He waits for  his enemies to be made his footstool, that is, put under his feet. Mt. 22.44 · Mk. 12.36 · Lk. 20.42, 43 · Acts 2.34, 35 · 1 Cor. 15.25 · Eph. 1.20-22 · Col. 3.1 · Heb. 1.13 ; 8.1 ; 10.12, 13  There is much made of stepping on the necks of the kings long ago, Joshua 10.24. Now those who sit together with him in heavenly places participate in that earth of his footstool, Isa. 66.1, Acts 7.49, Matthew 5.35. He was the plunderer of these kingdoms that now think they rule, whether that means CIA, Government, Religion, UN or ET. Earth is his footstool and all his enemies are under his feet

The LORD said unto my Lord,

        
Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

So that's what it means when it says, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God 
In case you've been meaning to reconcile the elohim with the facts you should know that Maimonides thinks its a homonym.
In order to judge the meaning of the phrase, a little lower than the Elohim, consider the fine discussion of Ps. 82 where the elohim may be taken as rulers, that is of the human sort. 

Notes:
-John Locke on the Dominion does not comprehend the heavens in this, but has much to say about the beasts.
-Psalm 8 has a back story. Here it is taught in classes at Bishop College in 1985 which produced a book written for that class called Poetical Reading of the Psalms of David.
