Psalms 62:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah

9 Lowborn men are but a vapor, the exalted but a lie. Weighed on the scale, they go up; together they are but a vapor.

10 Place no trust in extortion, or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11 God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,

12 and loving devotion to You, O Lord. For You will repay each man according to his deeds.
