Psalm 62:9-12

New International Version - UK

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

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