Salmos 78:54 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:54

And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary
Of the land of Canaan, which the Lord had sanctified, and set apart for them; and of Jerusalem, the holy city, the city of the great God, and of the temple where his residence was to be; so the Targum,

``to the border of the place of the house of his sanctuary:''

even to this mountain, which his right hand purchased;
the mount Moriah, on which the temple was built; this psalm being composed, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi think, after it was made known to David, by the prophet Gad, the place where the temple should be built; namely, on the very mountain, on part of which David had his palace; and this was obtained and possessed, not by the power nor through the merits of the Israelites, but through the power and goodness of God; see ( Psalms 44:3 ) .

Salmos 78:54 In-Context

52 Empero hizo salir á su pueblo como ovejas, Y llevólos por el desierto, como un rebaño.

53 Y guiólos con seguridad, que no tuvieron miedo; Y la mar cubrió á sus enemigos.

54 Metiólos después en los términos de su santuario, En este monte que ganó su mano derecha.

55 Y echó las gentes de delante de ellos, Y repartióles una herencia con cuerdas; E hizo habitar en sus moradas á las tribus de Israel.

56 Mas tentaron y enojaron al Dios Altísimo, Y no guardaron sus testimonios;
