1. The Lord, my protector, deserves praise – the one who trains my hands for battle,and my fingers for war,
2. who 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.
3. O 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?
4. People are like a vapor,their days like a shadow that disappears.
