Psalm 62:9 Context

◄ Psalm 62:9 ►

Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

Context

9Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

10Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11Once God has spoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;

12And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord,
For You recompense a man according to his work.
