Salmos 78:52 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:52

But made his own people to go forth like sheep
The people of Israel, whom the Lord chose to be his peculiar people above all others; these he caused to go forth out of Egypt, with a mighty hand and stretched out arm; like sheep, weak, timorous, unarmed, harmless, and inoffensive, not a dog daring to move his tongue at them: the power of God was wonderfully displayed in the delivery of his poor, helpless, and oppressed people, well may it be ascribed to him; for it was not their arm, but his, that brought them out:

and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
by the hands of Moses and Aaron, ( Psalms 77:20 ) , he also going before them as the Shepherd of the flock, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night; he kept them together as a flock from scattering, straying, and being lost; and directed their way in the untrodden wilderness, through all the windings and turnings of it, and protected them from all dangers and enemies.

Salmos 78:52 In-Context

50 Preparó senda para su ira; no eximió sus almas de la muerte, sino que entregó sus vidas a la plaga,

51 e hirió a todos los primogénitos en Egipto, las primicias de su virilidad en las tiendas de Cam.

52 Mas a su pueblo lo sacó como a ovejas, como a rebaño los condujo en el desierto;

53 los guió con seguridad, de modo que no temieron, pero el mar se tragó a sus enemigos.

54 Los trajo, pues, a su tierra santa, a esta tierra montañosa que su diestra había adquirido.
