1. I praise you, Lord!You are my mighty rock,and you teach mehow to fight my battles.
2. You are my friend,and you are my fortresswhere I am safe.You are my shield,and you made me the rulerof our people.
3. Why do we humans mean anythingto you, our Lord?Why do you care about us?
4. We disappear like a breath;we last no longerthan a faint shadow.
