Psalm 144:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version

2 He loves me and protects me.
    He is my safe place high on the mountain.
He rescues me.
    He is my shield.
I trust in him.
    He helps me rule my people.

3 Lord, why are people important to you?
    Why do you even notice us?
4 Our life is like a puff of air.
    It is like a passing shadow.

    their days are like a fleeting shadow.(G)
