aPour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Men of high degree are a lie;
If they are weighed on the scales,
They are altogether lighter than vapor.
Nor vainly hope in robbery;
aIf riches increase,
Do not set your heart on them.
For aYou render to each one according to his work.
| << Psalms 62:9 | Psalms 62:11 >> |
