Question on Psalm 8:5?

[Pressing-On]

Reading Psalms 8:4-9 in the KJV, but noticed that in others versions the word “angels” is replaced with “God”.

Psalm 8:5 “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (King James Version)

Psalms 8:5 “Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.” (NLT)

d 8:5a Or Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels; Hebrew reads Yet you made him [i.e., man] a little lower than Elohim.

Although, it appears the word for angels is “mê·’ĕ·lō·hîm

Question: What does adding “me” before “Elohim” mean? Is it significant?

Brown Driver Briggs defines this passage using either angels and/or God:
b. divine ones, superhuman beings including God and angels Psalm 8:5

Therefore, I can see how not all the translations line up the same. I feel that the Pulpit Commentary has a good explanation, unless adding the “me” before “Elohim” changes the meaning.

Psalm 8:5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Verse 5. - For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; rather, thou hast made him but a little lower than God (אלהים). There is no place in the Old Testament where Elohim means "angels;" and, though the LXX. so translate in the present passage, and the rendering has passed from them into the New Testament (Hebrews 2:7), it cannot be regarded as critically correct. The psalmist, in considering how man has been favoured by God, goes back in thought to his creation, and remembers the words of Genesis 1:26, 27, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him" (compare the still stronger expression in Psalm 82:6, "I have said, Ye are gods"). And hast crowned him with glory and honour; i.e. "and, by so doing, by giving him a nature but a little short of the Divine, hast put on him a crown of glory such as thou hast given to no other creature." There is a point of view from which the nature of man transcends that of angels, since

(1) it is a direct transcript of the Divine (Genesis 1:27); and

(2) it is the nature which the Son of God assumed (Hebrews 2:16).

Any comments?
