Psalms 49:3

Wisdom

1 Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,

2 both low and high, rich and poor alike.

My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?

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