Psalm 62:9
NIV:  Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

KJV:  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
GWT:  Common people are only a whisper in the wind. Important people are only a delusion. When all of them are weighed on a scale, they amount to nothing. They are less than a whisper in the wind.
ASV:  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.
BBE:  Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
DBY:  Men of low degree are only vanity; men of high degree, a lie: laid in the balance, they go up together lighter than vanity.
DRB:  But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: that by vanity they may together deceive.
WBS:  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
