Salmos 49:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 49:4

I will incline mine ear to a parable
In which way of speaking the doctrines of the Gospel were delivered out by Christ, ( Matthew 13:3 Matthew 13:35 ) . Wherefore the prophet, representing his apostles and disciples, signifies that he would listen thereunto, that he might attain to the knowledge thereof, and communicate it to others;

I will open my dark saying upon the harp;
the enigmas, riddles, and mysteries of the Gospel, being understood by the ministers of it, are opened and explained in a very pleasant and delightful manner; they are made clear and evident, and are as a lovely song upon a harp; see ( Ezekiel 33:32 ) .

Salmos 49:4 In-Context

2 quer humildes quer grandes, tanto ricos como pobres.
3 A minha boca falará a sabedoria, e a meditação do meu coração será de entendimento.
4 Inclinarei os meus ouvidos a uma parábola; decifrarei o meu enigma ao som da harpa.
5 Por que temeria eu nos dias da adversidade, ao cercar-me a iniqüidade dos meus perseguidores,
6 dos que confiam nos seus bens e se gloriam na multidão das suas riquezas?
