Psalms 62:10. Trust not in oppression,-

An ungodly man says, "Well, if I cannot trust in others, I will trust in myself; my own stout arm shall win me the victory, and I will tread others down beneath my feet." "I will get money," says another; "somehow or other, I will get money." To both of these, David says, "Trust not in oppression," -

Psalms 62:10. And become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

If you do, they will either fly away from your heart, or else they will fly away with your heart, which would be the greater evil of the two, for, when riches carry a man’s heart away from God, his greatest gains are his heaviest losses. He is poor indeed who prizes his gold more than his God.
