Trust in God at all times, my people.
    Tell him all your troubles,
    for he is our refuge.

Human beings are all like a puff of breath;
    great and small alike are worthless.

even if your riches increase,
    don't depend on them.

    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(G)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(H)
