Psalms 49:2
1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
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.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
