Exodus 15:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 15:9

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.
