Psalm 144:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Lord, what are human beings that you take care of them?
    What are mere people that you think about them?
⁴ Their lives don’t last any longer than a breath.
    Their days are like a shadow that quickly disappears.

⁵ Lord, open up your heavens and come down.
    Touch the mountains, and they will pour out smoke.
