PSALM 49
WHY SHOULD I FEAR IN TIMES OF TROUBLE?
This psalm focuses on the value of wisdom and understanding. The writer questions the reason for worrying in times of trouble, knowing most everything is out of our control. After seeing people cling to their wealth as a source of safety, the author believes life is best spent knowing and praising God. Like the words of Ecclesiastes, this psalm acknowledges that both the wise and the foolish will eventually face death.
Psalm 49:3 ESV - "My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding."
