Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 62:9
Theological / DevotionalSurely. Heb. ’ak, the sixth occurrence of the word (see on v. 1); in this case ’ak intensifies “vanity.”
Men of low degree. See on Ps. 49:2.
A lie. Unsubstantial, unworthy to be relied upon.
To be laid in the balance. Literally, “to go up in the two balances.” When men, whether of high or of low degree, are placed in the balances, they are even lighter than vanity.
