Psalm 62:9 | |
NASB: Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Common people are only a whisper in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a whisper in the wind. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. ASV: Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity. BBE: Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath. DBY: Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity. JPS: Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity. WBS: Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. WEB: Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath. YLT: Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity [are] lighter. | |
