Compare all

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.”

19 For the ^ahorses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and ^bthe Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

The Song of Miriam

20 Then Miriam ^athe prophetess, ^bthe sister of Aaron, ^ctook the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her ^dwith timbrels and with dances.

21 And Miriam ^aanswered them:
^b“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”

Exodus 15:17

Thou shalt bring them in - By thy strength and mercy alone shall they get the promised inheritance.

And plant them - Give them a fixed habitation in Canaan, after their unsettled wandering life in the wilderness.

In the mountain - Meaning Canaan, which was a very mountainous country, Deuteronomy 11:11; or probably Mount Zion, on which the temple was built. Where the pure worship of God was established, there the people might expect both rest and safety. Wherever the purity of religion is established and preserved, and the high and the low endeavor to regulate their lives according to its precepts, the government of that country is likely to be permanent.
