Exodus 15:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 15:4

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.

18 “The^a Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
