The messianic psalm: What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? Psalm 8:4

Psalm 8 is a brief and general psalm that admits a free interpretation. First of all, we can affirm that Psalm 8 is a devotional psalm that exalts the glory of God, that is, his perfect fame; the Lord is the creator of all things and the origin of all perfections in the universe.
With these words, the beautiful psalm begins:
"O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!" Psalm 8:1.
But then it continues with the second verse, and seems to allude to wisdom, which orders and renews creation, because it speaks to us of "infants", let's remember that wisdom is related to a new spiritual childhood in men. And about this one the most important teachings of Jesus, is refered to being like children.
The wise man is in a certain sense a spiritual child, and God tells us that with them he established a strength, that is, a Kingdom, a Kingdom that is against the oppressors and the wicked. Most likely this verse refers metaphorically to the reign of David and Solomon, and especially to the pact made with David:
"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger" Psalm 8:2.
And then it mentions a person as "son of man", a "son of man" in the Bible means a person who personifies the divine attributes of God, a personification of mercy, a personification of wisdom. In Christian teachings, just as the man becomes the "son of God", God also becomes the "son of man".
Psalm 8 with this verse anticipates the arrival of Jesus as savior, a savior who would bring this future spiritual Kingdom to humanity. Psalm 8 is definitely a messianic psalm:
"What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?" Psalm 8:4.
