Salmo 78
Fidelidad de Dios hacia su pueblo infiel
Masquil de Asaf.
78 Escucha(A), pueblo mío, mi enseñanza;
Inclinen ustedes su oído a las palabras de mi boca(B).
2 En parábolas abriré mi boca(C);
Hablaré enigmas(D) de la antigüedad,
3 Que hemos oído y conocido,
Y que nuestros padres nos han contado(E).
4 No lo ocultaremos a sus hijos(F),
Sino que contaremos a la generación venidera las alabanzas del Señor(G),
Su poder y las maravillas(H) que hizo.
