The psalmist continues: “My own mouth will speak things of wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will be of things of understanding.

(Ps. 49:3, 4) What the psalmist was about to express originated from meditation under the guidance of God’s spirit. It was not mere human wisdom, for the psalmist spoke of himself as ‘inclining his own ear to a proverbial utterance,’ an utterance from a divine source.
