Psalms 144:3

144:3 O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them?

Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?

Psalms 144:2

144:2 who loves me and is my stronghold,

my refuge and my deliverer,

my shield and the one in whom I take shelter,

who makes nations submit to me.

Psalms 6:1

Psalm 6

For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David.

6:1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger!

Do not discipline me in your raging fury!

Job 7:17

Insignificance of Humans

7:17 “What is mankind that you make so much of them,

and that you pay attention to them?

Job 25:6

25:6 how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot –

a son of man, who is only a worm!”

Isaiah 40:17

40:17 All the nations are insignificant before him;

they are regarded as absolutely nothing.

Hebrews 2:6-9

2:6 Instead someone testified somewhere:

“What is man that you think of him or the son of man that you care for him?

2:7 You made him lower than the angels for a little while.

You crowned him with glory and honor.

2:8 You put all things under his control.”

For when he put all things under his control, he left nothing outside of his control. At present we do not yet see all things under his control, 2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by God’s grace he would experience death on behalf of everyone.
