Psalm 144:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Lord, what are human beings,
    that you should care about them,
or mortal man,
    that you should think about him?
⁴ The human person is a mere empty breath;
    his days are like a fading shadow.

⁵ Bow your heavens, Lord, and descend;^[a]
    touch the mountains, and they will smolder.
