3 Jehovah, what `is' man that Thou knowest him? Son of man, that Thou esteemest him?
What `is' man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?
and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him?
What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

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.
