Psalms 144:1-4
11The Lord, my protector, deserves praise – the one who trains my hands for battle, and my fingers for war,
2who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me.
3O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?
4People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears.
