Psalm 78:53

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

Psalm 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.

Psalm 78:53 In-Context

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.

55 Al paso de los israelitas expulsó naciones,cuyas tierras dio a su pueblo en heredad;¡así estableció en sus tiendas a las tribus de Israel!
