International Standard Version
Psalm 62:9-11
International Standard Version
9 Human beings[a] are a mere vapor,
while people in high positions[b] are not what they appear.
When they are placed on the scales, they weigh nothing;
even when weighed together, they are less than nothing.
10 Don’t trust in oppression
or put false hope in stealing;
if you become wealthy,
do not set your heart on it.
11 God spoke once,
but I heard it twice,
“Power belongs to God.”
