Psalm 62:10

Trust In God Alone

⁹ Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
¹¹ Once God has spoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;

No
