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 Feriu todo primogênito no Egito, primícias da força deles nas tendas de Cão.

52 Mas fez sair o seu povo como ovelhas, e os guiou pelo deserto como a um rebanho.

53 Guiou-os com segurança, de sorte que eles não temeram; mas aos seus inimigos, o mar os submergiu.

54 Sim, conduziu-os até a sua fronteira santa, até o monte que a sua destra adquirira.

55 Expulsou as nações de diante deles; e dividindo suas terras por herança, fez habitar em suas tendas as tribos de Israel.
