Context of Psalms 78:54
52But God led his own people safely out of Egypt. But took them through the wilderness, like a shepherd leads his sheep. 53They were safe with him as their guide, and they were not afraid. But their enemies drowned in the sea. He brought his people to the edge of his holy land. It was land with the mountain that he had taken with his power. 55He chased away the nations that were living there. He gave to each tribe their own piece of land, so that Israel's tribes could live there. 56But the Israelites continued to test the Most High God, and they turned against him. They did not obey his commands.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 54The border of his sanctuary - קדשו kodsho, "of his holy place," that is, the land of Canaan, called afterwards the mountain which his right hand had purchased; because it was a mountainous country, widely differing from Egypt, which was a long, continued, and almost perfect level.Read the comment
