Commentary for Psalms 62:10

אַ֤ךְ ׀ הֶ֥בֶל בְּנֵֽי־אָדָם֮ כָּזָ֪ב בְּנֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַ֥יִם לַעֲל֑וֹת הֵ֝֗מָּה מֵהֶ֥בֶל יָֽחַד׃

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

Rashi on Psalms

The sons of men are but vanity Do not fear them, since God is forever our shelter in time of trouble.

Rashi on Psalms
