8People, trust God all the time.

Tell him all your problems,

because God is our protection.

and even the greatest are just a lie.

On the scales, they weigh nothing;

together they are only a breath.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

Surely the lowborn are but a breath,

the highborn are but a lie.

If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;

together they are only a breath.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts before him.

God is our refuge.

Selah

Common people are only a vapor;

important people, an illusion.

Together on a scale,

they weigh less than a vapor.

NLTNew Living Translation

O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.

Interlude

Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,

and the powerful are not what they appear to be.

If you weigh them on the scales,

together they are lighter than a breath of air.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Trust him at all times, O people;

pour out before him your heart.

God is a refuge for us. Selah

Only a vapor are men of low degree,

a deception are men of high degree.

Weighed in a balance,

together they are lighter than a vapor.

KJV 1900King James Version

Trust in him at all times; ye people,

Pour out your heart before him:

God is a refuge for us. Selah.

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.
