Psalm 78:52

52 Empero hizo salir á su pueblo como ovejas, Y llevólos por el desierto, como un rebaño.

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 Dispuso el camino á su furor; No eximió la vida de ellos de la muerte, Sino que entregó su vida á la mortandad.

51 E hirió á todo primogénito en Egipto, Las primicias de las fuerzas en las tiendas de Châm.

52 Empero hizo salir á su pueblo como ovejas, Y llevólos por el desierto, como un rebaño.

53 Y guiólos con seguridad, que no tuvieron miedo; Y la mar cubrió á sus enemigos.

54 Metiólos después en los términos de su santuario, En este monte que ganó su mano derecha.
