10Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.
11On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
all of them together.
12Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
13God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God.
14Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
63Deus, Deus meus
1O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
2Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, *
that I might behold your power and your glory.
3For your loving‑kindness is better than life itself; *
my lips shall give you praise.
4So will I bless you as long as I live *
and lift up my hands in your Name.
5My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness, *
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
6When I remember you upon my bed, *
and meditate on you in the night watches.
7For you have been my helper, *
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
670Psalm 63
