Psalms 62:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Trust not in oppression That is, in riches gotten by fraud and violence; or in the arts of acquiring them. As you must not trust in any other men, so neither must you trust to yourselves, nor to your own wit, or industry, or courage, by which you may oppress others, and so think to secure and enrich yourselves. And become not vain in robbery Lifting up and feeding yourselves with vain hopes of safety and felicity from those riches which you take from others by robbery and violence. If riches increase, set not your heart on them So as to esteem and inordinately love them, to place your hope, and trust, and chief joy in them, or so as to grow proud and insolent because of them.

Psalms 62:10

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
