Context of Psalms 49:3
1Listen to this, people from every nation. Yes, listen carefully, everyone who lives in this world! 2All people must listen, whoever you are, whether you are rich people or poor people. I will speak wise words to you. When you know my thoughts, you will understand things better. 4I have studied proverbs. I explain what they mean as I make music on my harp. 5When trouble comes, why am I afraid? When cruel people are all round me, and they want to hurt me, why am I afraid?
