Psalm 144:2-4

Living Bible

² He is always kind and loving to me; he is my fortress, my tower of strength and safety, my deliverer. He stands before me as a shield. He subdues my people under me.

³ O Lord, what is man that you even notice him? Why bother at all with the human race?^{[a] 4} For man is but a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
