Psalm 78:52

52 A su pueblo lo guió como a un rebaño;los llevó por el desierto, como a ovejas,

Psalm 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.

Psalm 78:52 In-Context

50 Dio rienda suelta a su enojoy no los libró de la muerte,sino que los entregó a la plaga.

51 Dio muerte a todos los primogénitos de Egipto,a las primicias de su raza en los campamentos de Cam.

52 A su pueblo lo guió como a un rebaño;los llevó por el desierto, como a ovejas,

53 infundiéndoles confianza para que no temieran.Pero a sus enemigos se los tragó el mar.

54 Trajo a su pueblo a esta su tierra santa,a estas montañas que su diestra conquistó.
