Psalm 62:10
“Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 62Meaning
The verse joins unjust gain and legitimate increase under one warning: neither coercion nor riches should capture the heart.
Human status, oppression, and wealth relativized
Social rank, coercion, theft, and increasing riches are all denied ultimate weight.
Read carefully
The warning concerns unjust acquisition, trust, and attachment; responsible possession is not condemned.
Reflection
Reject unjust gain and hold legitimate possessions with disciplined detachment and stewardship.
