The Confidence of the Foolish

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

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?
