Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 78:54 In-Context

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!

56 Pero ellos pusieron a prueba a Dios:se rebelaron contra el Altísimoy desobedecieron sus estatutos.
