Common people are only a vapor; 

important people, 

an illusion. 

Together on a scale, 

they weigh less than a vapor.

Place no trust in oppression or false hope in robbery. 

If wealth increases, 

don't set your heart on it. 

God has spoken once; 

I have heard this twice: strength belongs to God, 

and faithful love belongs to you, Lord. For you repay each according to his works.

Psalms 62:9-12 CSB

The end of this Psalm, this song, gives some interesting context to the earlier parts, about refuge. This song is about the Big Story, the Story of eternity, where in that Story our life is just a breath, but in that Story where we put our hope, our faith, that's what matters. 

There's a bigger reality to "set our hearts on" that's way more important than what our culture might value right now. 

We are held in the embrace of Faithful Love. 

He is our refuge.
