What is David’s amazement focused on?

Psalm 8:4 (ESV)

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

David’s amazement is not focused on man’s insignificance alone, but rather on the Lord’s mindfulness of this (seemingly) insignificant mankind! In this vast creation, the Lord is truly mindful of man.
