52. Then God led forth his people like sheep,guided them like a flock through the wilderness.
53. He led them on secure and unafraid,while the sea enveloped their enemies.
54. And he brought them to his holy mountain,the hill his right hand had won.
55. He drove out the nations before them,allotted them as their inherited portion,and settled in their tents the tribes of Israel.
56. But they tested and rebelled against God Most High,his decrees they did not observe.
57. They turned disloyal, faithless like their ancestors;they proved false like a slack bow.
58. They enraged him with their high places,and with their idols provoked him to jealous anger.
