8 aTrust in Him at all times, O people;
bPour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 Surely men of alow degree are merely bvanity and men of rank are a clie;
In the dbalances they go up;
They are together lighter than a breath of vanity.
10 aDo not trust in oppression
And do not put vain hope in brobbery;
If riches increase, cdo not set your heart upon them.
11 Once God has aspoken;
Twice I have heard this:
That bstrength belongs to God;
12 And that ato You, O Lord, belongs lovingkindness,
For You brepay a man according to his work.
