Psalm 144:2-4

Christian Standard Bible

²He is my faithful love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield,^(A) and I take refuge in him;^(B)
he subdues my people^[a] under me.^(C)

³Lord, what is a human that you care for him,
a son of man^[b] that you think of him?^(D)
⁴A human is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.^(E)
