Psalm 49:3 (ESV)

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

My mouth speaks wise words, and the meditation of my heart will be full of insight. The two parts of the sentence are not entirely parallel. It starts in your heart; then your thoughts are put into words. What matters to the author is the wisdom and insight. Wisdom he has not of his own. See what follows in Psalm 49:4, where he speaks about his own manner of listening. His wisdom must come from above. See how the author realizes this, for instance, in Psalm 49:15: the Lord rules over life and death. This is a central theme in this psalm. Psalm 78 is a good example of the wisdom which you can receive by considering the history of the Lord God with his people Israel, Psalm 78:1, Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!

This verse is in contrast with Psalm 49:20, with which this Psalm ends: Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
