What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Footnotes

Psa. 8:5

Suffix ־נו (-nū) is flexible and can mean "him" (3rd person masculine singular) or "us" (1st person plural) depending on the context. Understanding whether ־נו refers to a singular object (masculine) or to the speaker and others (plural) comes from interpreting the surrounding text.
