Psalm 49:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ I will focus my attention on^[a] a proverb;
    I will use the harp to expound my riddle.
⁵ Why should I be afraid when evil days come my way,
    when the wickedness of those who deceive me surrounds me—
⁶ those who put confidence in their wealth
    and boast about their great riches?
