The declaration that the psalmist will turn his ear to a proverb and will explain a riddle to the accompaniment of a harp establishes a teaching method combining verbal and musical elements. The reference to proverbs and riddles suggests the use of traditional wisdom forms; the teaching will employ recognized pedagogical formats. The accompaniment of music suggests that the wisdom will be presented in a memorable and aesthetically appealing form; both intellect and emotion are engaged. The promise to explain the riddle suggests that the psalmist will illuminate traditionally obscure wisdom through interpretation. This verse establishes the psalmist's method of transmitting wisdom through traditional forms enhanced by musical accompaniment.
