Psalm 62:9

Trust In God Alone

⁸
Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah. ⁹ 
Men of low degree are only a breath (emptiness), and men of [high] rank are a lie (delusion).
In the balances they go up [because they have no measurable weight or value];
They are together lighter than a breath.
¹⁰
Do not trust in oppression,
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
