Psalm 144:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

2 my rock[a] and my fortress,
    my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
    who subdues the peoples[b] under me.

3 O Lord, what are human beings that you regard them,
    or mortals that you think of them?
4 They are like a breath;
    their days are like a passing shadow.
