Psalm 62:8-12
New International Version

8 Trust in him at all times, you people;(A)
    pour out your hearts to him,(B)
    for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn(C) are but a breath,(D)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,(E) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
10 Do not trust in extortion(F)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;(G)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.(H)

11 One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,(I)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;(J)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”(K)

Psalm 62:8-12
New Living Translation

8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
    Pour out your heart to him,
    for God is our refuge. Interlude

9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
    and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
    together they are lighter than a breath of air.

10 Don’t make your living by extortion
    or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
    don’t make it the center of your life.

11 God has spoken plainly,
    and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;
12     unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
    according to what they have done.

Psalm 62:8-12
Good News Translation

8 Trust in God at all times, my people.
    Tell him all your troubles,
    for he is our refuge.

9 Human beings are all like a puff of breath;
    great and small alike are worthless.
Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing;
    they are lighter than a mere breath.
10 Don't put your trust in violence;
    don't hope to gain anything by robbery;
even if your riches increase,
    don't depend on them.

11 More than once I have heard God say
    that power belongs to him
12 (A)and that his love is constant.
You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to their deeds.
