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 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.

56 Pero ellos siguieron tentando al Dios Altísimo y rebelándose contra él;
no obedecieron sus leyes.
