Psalms 78:2

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

I will open {H6605}{H8799)} my mouth {H6310} in a parable {H4912}: I will utter {H5042}{H8686)} dark sayings {H2420} of old {H6924}:

I will speak to you in parables and explain mysteries from days of old.

I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
