The verses around it, from Psalm 144.
1 Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.
2 He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
3 O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?
4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5 Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.
6 Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.
7 Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,
8 whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.
