Exodus 15:2 - John Wesley's Notes

Exodus 15:2

The Song of Moses

1 Then ^aMoses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:
“I will ^bsing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!

2 The Lord is my strength and ^asong,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and ^bI will praise Him;
My ^cfather’s God, and I ^dwill exalt Him.

3 The Lord is a man of ^awar;
The Lord is His ^bname.

4 ^aPharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
^bHis chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 The depths have covered them;
^aThey sank to the bottom like a stone.

6 “Your ^aright hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

7 And in the greatness of Your ^aexcellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth ^bYour wrath;
It ^cconsumed them ^dlike stubble.

8 And ^awith the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
^bThe floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths¹ congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 ^aThe enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will ^bdivide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’

10 You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 “Who ^ais like You, O Lord, among the¹ gods?
Who is like You, ^bglorious in holiness,
Fearful in ^cpraises, ^ddoing wonders?

12 You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.

13 You in Your mercy have ^aled forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To ^bYour holy habitation.

14 “The ^apeople will hear and be afraid;
^bSorrow¹ will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 ^aThen ^bthe chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
^cThe mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
^dAll the inhabitants of Canaan will ^emelt away.

16 ^aFear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be ^bas still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
^cWhom You have purchased.

17 You will bring them in and ^aplant them
In the ^bmountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The ^csanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Exodus 15:1

Exodus 15:3 >>

Exodus 15:2

Israel rejoiceth in God, as their strength, song, and salvation - Happy therefore the people whole God is the Lord: They are weak themselves, but he strengthens them, his grace is their strength: they are oft in sorrow, but in him they have comfort, he is their song: sin and death threaten them, but he is, and will be, their salvation. He is their fathers God - This they take notice of, because being conscious of their own unworthiness, they had reason to think that what God had now done for them was for their fathers sake, Deuteronomy 4:37.
