“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. altogether: or, alike”
Psalms 62:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 62:9
The vanity of human stations—'men of low degree' and 'men of high degree'—levels all humanity before God. Being 'lighter than vanity' when weighed in balances indicates complete worthlessness apart from God. This echoes Ecclesiastes's 'vanity of vanities' (Ecclesiastes 1:2) and anticipates Paul's teaching that all have sinned (Romans 3:23), showing human merit cannot bear weight in divine scales.
