Psalms 144:4
King James Version
“Man is like to vanity: his days as a shadow that passeth away.”
Context
1Blessed the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight:
2My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3LORD, what man, that thou takest knowledge of him! the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4Man is like to vanity: his days as a shadow that passeth away.
5Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
