3 Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?
What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

PSALM 144
Ps 144:1-15. David's praise of God as his all-sufficient help is enhanced by a recognition of the intrinsic worthlessness of man. Confidently imploring God's interposition against his enemies, he breaks forth into praise and joyful anticipations of the prosperity of his kingdom, when freed from vain and wicked men.
