3
My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
4
I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the harp.
5
Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,
6
those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches?
