9. Trust God at all times, my people!Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!Selah
10. Mortals are a mere breath,the sons of man but an illusion;On a balance they rise;together they weigh nothing.
11. Do not trust in extortion;in plunder put no empty hope.On wealth that increases,do not set your heart.
12. One thing God has said;two things I have heard:Strength belongs to God;
13. so too, my Lord, does mercy,For you repay each manaccording to his deeds.
