1 Listen to this, all you nations!Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world!
2 Pay attention, all you people,both rich and poor!
3 I will declare a wise saying;I will share my profound thoughts.
4 I will learn a song that imparts wisdom;I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.
5 Why should I be afraid in times of trouble,when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?
6 They trust in their wealthand boast in their great riches.
7 Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother;he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
