Psalms 78:54

52 He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

53 He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.

He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.

55 He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56 But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.
