Psalms 143:2-5

²My mercy, and my refuge; my helper, and my deliverer; my protector, in whom I have trusted; who subdues my people under me.

³Lord, what is man, that you are made known to him? or the son of man, that you take account of him?

⁴Man is like to vanity: his days pass as a shadow.

⁵O Lord, bow your heavens, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
