Psalm 62:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 My deliverance and my glory depend on God;
he is my mighty rock and my refuge.
9 Trust in him at all times, my people,
and pour out your heart before him,[a]
for God is our refuge. Selah
10 Ordinary people are no more than a breath,
and the great are no more than a delusion.
When they are placed on scales all together,
they are lighter than air.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 62:9 Pour out your heart before him: a call for true prayer and meditation with God (see Lam 2:19). Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
- Psalm 62:10 A reference to the manner of weighing precious objects; the lighter one would rise. On God’s scale, the wicked are a puff of air. The image of the scale recurs in Job 31:6; Prov 16:2; 21:2; 24:12; Isa 40:15.
