Psalm 62:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 Only a vapor[a] are men of low degree,
a deception are men of high degree.
Weighed[b] in a balance,
together they are lighter than a vapor.
10 Do not trust in extortion,
and do not put vain confidence in robbery.
If wealth increases,
do not set your heart on it.
11 Once God has spoken;
twice I have heard this:
that strength belongs to God.

the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(C) they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(D)
or put vain hope in stolen goods;(E)
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.(F)
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(G)
