American Standard Version
"Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity. "
— Psalms 62:9, American Standard Version
“Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.”
“Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.”
“Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.”
“My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.”
“Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.”
“Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.”
He only is my rock and my salvation: He ismy high tower; I shall not be moved.
With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. [Selah
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work.
