Psalms 49:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. I have some very wise words for you. My thoughts will give you understanding.

4. I listened to these sayings. And now, with my harp, I will sing and make the hidden meaning clear.

5. Why should I be afraid when trouble comes? There is no need to fear when evil enemies surround me.

6. They think their wealth will protect them. They brag about how rich they are.
