Psalm 144:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 My safeguard and my fortress,
my stronghold, my deliverer,
My shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
II
3 [a]Lord, what is man that you take notice of him;
the son of man, that you think of him?(A)
4 [b]Man is but a breath,
his days are like a passing shadow.(B)
