Psalms 49:1

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
