Psalms 144:3

Identity and self-worthHumilityGod's love

1 Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

2 He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
