The last word is Psalm 8:5 is ‘elohim. This is mistranslated as "angels", yielding "Thou hast made [man] little lower than the angels." The word ‘elohim is actually gods, or–because the number is not specified this Hebrew word-God. Hence, the verse should read, "Thou hast made him little lower than the gods [or God]."
I guess I see why the KJV translator wimped out.
