53 Los protegió para que no tuvieran temor,
en cambio, sus enemigos quedaron cubiertos por el mar.

Salmos 78:53 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:53

And he led them on safely
Through the sea, where the waters were on each side; and through the wilderness, in which were serpents and scorpions, and where they were attacked by many powerful enemies:

so that they feared not;
for though they feared for a while at the Red sea, yet their fears were soon silenced, and they by faith passed through the Red sea as on dry land; and especially their fears were gone, when they saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore; wherefore it follows:

but the sea overwhelmed their enemies;
or "covered" them ^F16; the waters returned, and overflowed and drowned the Egyptians, who were their implacable enemies, and vowed their destruction, and were sure of it; but now the Israelites had nothing to fear from them.

Salmos 78:53 In-Context

51 Mató al hijo mayor de cada familia egipcia,
la flor de la juventud en toda la tierra de Egipto.

52 Pero guió a su propio pueblo como a un rebaño de ovejas,
los condujo a salvo a través del desierto.

53 Los protegió para que no tuvieran temor,
en cambio, sus enemigos quedaron cubiertos por el mar.

54 Los llevó a la frontera de la tierra santa,
a la tierra de colinas que había conquistado para ellos.

55 A su paso expulsó a las naciones de esa tierra,
la cual repartió por sorteo a su pueblo como herencia
y estableció a las tribus de Israel en sus hogares.
