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.
Any comments?

I guess my only concern is that
Hebrews 2:7 and 2:9 appear to allude to
Psalms 8:5. If
Psalms 8:5 is really saying Mankind is a little lower than God (which would appear to make the most sense with internal context IMO) then what is
Hebrews 2:7 and 2:9 alluding to? What ever made the author of Hebrews think that Jesus was made a little lower than the angels?
