Psalms 62:9 Context
7In God is my saluation, and my glorie: the rocke of my strength, and my refuge is in God. 8Trust in him at all times; ye people, powre out your heart before him: God is a refuge for vs. Selah. 9Surely men of low degree are vanitie, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the ballance, they are altogether lighter then vanitie. 10Trust not in oppression, become not vaine in robberie: if riches increase, set not your heart vpon them. 11God hath spoken once; twice haue I heard this, that power belongeth vnto God.
