Psalm 78:53

53 Ele os guiou em segurança, e não tiveram medo;e os seus inimigos afundaram-se no 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 Matou todos os primogênitos do Egito,as primícias do vigor varonil das tendas de Cam.

52 Mas tirou o seu povo como ovelhase o conduziu como a um rebanho pelo deserto.

53 Ele os guiou em segurança, e não tiveram medo;e os seus inimigos afundaram-se no mar.

54 Assim os trouxe à fronteira da sua terra santa,aos montes que a sua mão direita conquistou.

55 Expulsou nações que lá estavam,distribuiu-lhes as terras por herançae deu suas tendas às tribos de Israelpara que nelas habitassem.
