Psalm 62:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ Human beings are all like a puff of breath;
    great and small alike are worthless.
Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing;
    they are lighter than a mere breath.
¹⁰ Don't put your trust in violence;
    don't hope to gain anything by robbery;
even if your riches increase,
    don't depend on them.

¹¹ More than once I have heard God say
    that power belongs to him
