3 How long will you attack someone? Will all of you kill that person? Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?

9 The least of people are only a breath, and even the greatest are just a lie. On the scales, they weigh nothing; together they are only a breath.
9
Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 God has said this, and I have heard it over and over: God is strong.

Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God,
12 The Lord is loving. You reward people for what they have done. A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Judah.
12
and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work.
