Psalms 78:52

“But made his own people to go forth like sheep, etc.] The people of Israel, whom the Lord chose to be his peculiar people above all others; these he caused to go forth out of Egypt, with a mighty hand and stretched out arm; like sheep, weak, timorous, unarmed, harmless, and inoffensive, not a dog daring to move his tongue at them: the power of God was wonderfully displayed in the delivery of his poor, helpless, and oppressed people, well may it be ascribed to him; for it was not their arm, but his, that brought them out: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock; by the hands of Moses and Aaron, (<197720>Psalm 77:20), he also going before them as the Shepherd of the flock, in a pillar…”

“But made his own people to go forth like sheep ... - That is, he was a shepherd to them. He defended them; provided for them; led them - as a shepherd does his flock. See the notes at Psalms 23:1-2. return to 'Top of Page'”
