Psalm 144:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 You are my friend, my fortress,
    where I am safe.
You are my shield,
and you made me the ruler
    of our people.[a]

3 (A) Why do we humans mean anything
to you, our Lord?
    Why do you care about us?
4 We disappear like a breath;
we last no longer
    than a faint shadow.
