Psalm 144:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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

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