Context of Psalms 62:8

6He alone is the strong rock where I can hide and be safe. With him, nothing will make me fall. 7It is God who has kept me safe, and he has made me great. He is the strong place where I can hide and be safe. Yes, my friends, you should always trust in God! Tell him about all the troubles in your thoughts. God is our safe place to hide! Selah. 9People are only as light as a breath! Whoever they are, they are not important. If you try to weigh them, all together, they weigh less than a breath of air. 10Do not cheat people, or rob them to get money! That will not give you anything that you can trust to help you. Even if you become very rich, do not think it is important.
