2. I will open my mouth in a parable.
Analogies are intended by God to be traced between the story of Israel and the
lives of believers. Unspiritual people may sneer about fancies and mysticisms,
but Paul said, “which things are an
allegory,” and Asaph in the present case called his narrative “a parable.” I will utter dark sayings of old. The mind of the poet-prophet was so full of ancient lore
that he poured it forth in a copious stream of song, with spiritual truth
capable of enriching those who could dive and bring them up. Verse 2 hints that the outer sense conceals an inner and hidden meaning, which
only the thoughtful will be able to perceive.
