Psalms 49:4


Psalms 49:3 Psalms 49:4 (KJV) Psalms 49:5
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart [shall be] of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
