Psalms144:3

3 LORD, what is man , that thou takest knowledge of him ! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him ?

He aggravates Gods goodness to him expressed v. 2. by the consideration of his own meanness. Though I am King over my people, yet al[illegible: 1+ letters]s I am but a man, a base, sinful, mortal and miserable creature, if compared with thee, less than nothing and vanity.

i. e. Hast any care and kindness for him, as words of knowledge commonly imply in Scripture.

The same thing repeated in other words.

Marginal references: [illegible: 1+ letters]ob 7. 17. Psal. 8. 4. Heb. 2. 6.
