Psalms 49:4

Compare all

2 Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will disclose my¹ dark saying on the harp.

5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

6 Those who ^atrust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,

John Wesley's Notes

<< Psalms 49:3

Psalms 49:5 >>

I will - I will hearken what God by his Spirit speaks to me, and that will I now speak to you. A parable - Which properly is an allegorical speech, but is often taken for an important, and withal, dark doctrine or sentence. Open - I will not smother it in my own breast, but publish it to the world. Dark - So he calls the following discourse, because the thing in question ever hath been thought hard to be understood.
