Psalms 78 — Context

51

He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

52

But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

53

He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

54

And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

55

Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

56

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

57

Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.
