Context of Psalms 78:52
50He cleared a path for His anger. He spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the plague. 51He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. But He brought His people out like sheep, and led them in the wilderness like a flock. 53He led them to safety, so they did not fear, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54Then He brought them to His holy territory, to the mountain His right hand had gotten.
