Psalms 144:4 Context
2My goodnes and my fortresse, my high tower and my deliuerer, my shield, and he in whome I trust: who subdueth my people vnder me. 3Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? or the sonne of man, that thou makest account of him? 4Man is like to vanity: his dayes are as a shadow that passeth away. 5Bow thy heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines, and they shall smoke. 6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoote out thine arrowes, and destroy them.
