Hey what does everyone think about Psalm 8:1

'A$ER TT:NAH HODKA, do you think this [TT:NAH]is a corruption of the second 
masculine NTTH or imperfect TTN.

Because this translation I am getting "in all the earth which gives you honor 
upon the heavens."  And that is not making sense.  This imperative is 
throwing me off here.

I couldn't find a place to enter the citation for searching, all it would let 
me do is flip through the pages of Deuteronomy, then asked if I wanted to 
read Joshua (21 more pages to flip through) etc.  Is there another part of 
the site that's searchable?  I sure couldn't find one...
