Psalm 62:10

Trust In God Alone

⁹ Common people are only a vapor in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a vapor in the wind. ¹⁰ Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
¹¹ God has spoken once. I have heard it said twice: Power belongs to God.
