Psalm 62:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Surely ordinary people are only a breath.
    Important people are not what they seem to be.
If they were weighed on a scale, they wouldn’t amount to anything.
    Together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Don’t trust in money you have taken from others.
    Don’t put false hope in things you have stolen.
Even if your riches grow,
    don’t put your trust in them.

¹¹ God, I have heard you say two things.
    One is that power belongs to you, God.
