People, in every situation put your trust in God;[a]
    pour out your heart before him;
        for God is a refuge for us.
Interlude

Human beings[b] are a mere vapor,
    while people in high positions[c] are not what they appear.
    When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing;

    or put false hope in stealing;
if you become wealthy,
    do not set your heart on it.
