Exodus 15:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 15:3

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.
