Psalms 144:4 in Context — Psalms 144

2 [Ele é] minha bondade e meu castelo; meu alto refúgio, e meu libertador; [ele é] meu escudo, em quem confio; [e] aquele que faz meu povo se submeter a mim.

3 Ó SENHOR, o que é o homem para que lhe dês atenção? [E] o filho do homem, para que com ele te importes?

4 O homem é semelhante a um sopro; seus dias, como a sombra que passa.

5 Ó SENHOR, abaixa teus céus, e desce; toca os montes, e fumeguem.

6 Lança relâmpagos, e os dispersa; envia tuas flechas, e os derrota.
