Psalms 144:2-6

²He is my strength, and my Rock; my high tower, and my saviour; my keeper and my hope: he gives me authority over my people.

³Lord, what is man, that you keep him in mind? or the son of man that you take him into account?

⁴Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

⁵Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

⁶With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.
