NIV, Psalm 8:

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
The Hebrew word here is elohim. It had many meanings.

New Living Translation:

Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
English Standard Version:

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
LXX translated elohim to G32 αγγέλους.

Hebrews 2 used this Greek word from LXX and applied the verse to Jesus:

7 You made him [Jesus] for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor.
