Psalm 78:56-72

Listen to Psalm 78:56-72
56 Empero ellos tentaron y provocaron al Dios Alt铆simo, y no guardaron sus testimonios,
57 sino que se volvieron atr谩s y fueron desleales como sus padres; se desviaron como arco enga帽oso.
58 Pues le provocaron con sus lugares altos, y despertaron sus celos con sus im谩genes talladas.
59 Al o铆rlo Dios, se indign贸, y aborreci贸 a Israel en gran manera.
60 Abandon贸 la morada en Silo, la tienda que hab铆a levantado entre los hombres,
61 y entreg贸 al cautiverio su poder铆o, y su gloria en manos del adversario.
62 Entreg贸 tambi茅n su pueblo a la espada, y se indign贸 contra su heredad.
63 El fuego consumi贸 a sus j贸venes, y no tuvieron canciones de bodas sus doncellas.
64 Sus sacerdotes cayeron a espada, y sus viudas no pudieron llorar.
65 Entonces despert贸 el Se帽or como de un sue帽o, como guerrero vencido por el vino,
66 e hizo retroceder a sus adversarios, poniendo sobre ellos una afrenta perpetua.
67 Desech贸 tambi茅n la tienda de Jos茅, y no escogi贸 a la tribu de Efra铆n,
68 sino que escogi贸 a la tribu de Jud谩, al monte Sion que El amaba.
69 Y edific贸 su santuario como las alturas, como la tierra que ha fundado para siempre.
70 Escogi贸 tambi茅n a David su siervo, lo tom贸 de entre los apriscos de las ovejas;
71 lo trajo de cuidar las ovejas con sus corderitos, para pastorear a Jacob, su pueblo, y a Israel, su heredad.
72 Y 茅l los pastore贸 seg煤n la integridad de su coraz贸n, y los gui贸 con la destreza de sus manos.

Psalm 78:56-72 Meaning and Commentary

Maschil of Asaph. Or for "Asaph" {f}; a doctrinal and "instructive" psalm, as the word "Maschil" signifies; see Psalm 32:1, which was delivered to Asaph to be sung; the Targum is, "the understanding of the Holy Spirit by the hands of Asaph." Some think David was the penman of it; but from the latter part of it, in which mention is made of him, and of his government of the people of Israel, it looks as if it was wrote by another, and after his death, though not long after, since the account is carried on no further than his times; and therefore it is probable enough it was written by Asaph, the chief singer, that lived in that age: whoever was the penman of it, it is certain he was a prophet, and so was Asaph, who is called a seer, the same with a prophet, and who is said to prophesy, 2 Chronicles 29:30 and also that he represented Christ; for that the Messiah is the person that is introduced speaking in this psalm is clear from Matthew 13:34 and the whole may be considered as a discourse of his to the Jews of his time; giving them an history of the Israelites from their first coming out of Egypt to the times of David, and in it an account of the various benefits bestowed upon them, of their great ingratitude, and of the divine resentment; the design of which is to admonish and caution them against committing the like sins, lest they should be rejected of God, as their fathers were, and perish: some Jewish writers, as Arama observes, interpret this psalm of the children of Ephraim going out of Egypt before the time appointed.
