Context of Psalms 78:54
52But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness. 53He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies. And so he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken. 55He drove out nations before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance; he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes. 56But they put God to the test and rebelled against the Most High; they did not keep his statutes.
