Psalm 78:52–55

52 Then he led out his people like sheep,

and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid;

but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 And he brought them to his holy hill,

to the mountain that his right hand had won.

55 He drove out nations before them;

he apportioned them for a possession

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
