‏ Psalms 62:10


10 Do not trust in what you can gain by oppression.
tn Heb “do not trust in oppression.” Here “oppression” stands by metonymy for the riches that can be gained by oppressive measures, as the final line of the verse indicates.

Do not put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery.
tn Heb “and in robbery do not place vain hope.” Here “robbery” stands by metonymy for the riches that can be gained by theft, as the next line of the verse indicates.

If wealth increases, do not become attached to it.
tn Heb “[as for] wealth, when it bears fruit, do not set [your] heart [on it].”
