Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: if laid on the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
All Commentaries on Psalms 62:9 Go To Psalms 62
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Liars. They are so vain and light, that if they are put into the scales, they will be found to be of no weight; and to be mere lies, deceit, and vanity. Or, they are liars in their balances, by weighing thing by false weights, and preferring the temporal before the eternal. (Challoner) (Proverbs xi. 1., and xx. 10.)
They give false judgments; be not concerned; God is our protector. (Calmet)
God's servants strive to draw others to the practice of virtue. (Worthington)
All sinners (Haydock) will not outweigh vanity itself. (Menochius)
