Psalm 144:2-4
Revised Standard Version

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

3 O Lord, what is man that thou dost regard him,
    or the son of man that thou dost think of him?
4 Man is like a breath,
    his days are like a passing shadow.
