For the music director, a psalm by the Korahites. Listen to this, all you nations! Pay attention, all you inhabitants of the world!

You know that I did not hold back from proclaiming to you anything that would be helpful, and from teaching you publicly and from house to house,

"Who is this who darkens counsel with words without knowledge?
