Psalms 62:9
Lowborn men are but a vapor;
What it says
Lowborn and highborn alike are but vapor and lighter than breath when weighed.
What it is doing
This verse strips human status of ultimate substance.
In context
1For the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. 2He alone is my rock and my salvation. 3How long will you threaten a man? 4They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; 5Rest in God alone, O my soul, 6He alone is my rock and my salvation; 7My salvation and my honor rest on God, my strong rock; 8Trust in Him at all times, O people; 9Lowborn men are but a vapor; 10Place no trust in extortion 11God has spoken once; 12and loving devotion to You, O Lord.
