Psalm 49:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ I will speak wise words to you.
When you know my thoughts,
    you will understand things better.
⁴ I have studied proverbs.
I explain what they mean
    as I make music on my harp.
⁵ When trouble comes,
    why am I afraid?
When cruel people are all round me,
    and they want to hurt me,
    why am I afraid?
