Exodus 15:2

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 15:2

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "My father's God." Exodus 15:2 . These words are taken from the song which Moses and the children of Israel sang when they saw Pharaoh and his hosts overthrown in the Red Sea. It was surely an era in their history to see the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. Such epochs in human life should have some moral meaning. They should not be allowed to pass without celebration. There is a time to sing, surely it is the hour of deliverance from the terrible foe.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 15:2

The praise here riseth to a note still higher. In the former, Moses adores God for his salvation. But here for the covenant relations into which the Lord hath condescended to bring himself: Reader! do you know anything of this? Can you say he is my God. Isaiah 12:2 . What a sweet scripture to this amount is that of the people's call, and God's answer? Zechariah 13:9 . Reader! do not overlook the children's covenant blessings in this verse, for it is very precious. We have authority to remind... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Exodus 15:2

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 15:1-21

1-21 This song is the most ancient we know of. It is a holy song, to the honour of God, to exalt his name, and celebrate his praise, and his only, not in the least to magnify any man. Holiness to the Lord is in every part of it. It may be considered as typical, and prophetical of the final destruction of the enemies of the church. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. They have work to do, temptations to grapple with, and afflictions to bear, and are weak in themselves; but his grace is their... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 15:1-18

The Song of Triumph v. 1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving for deliverance from their mighty enemies, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, He has set forth His great majesty; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea, all the host in which Pharaoh placed his trust was overcome and destroyed in a few moments by the almighty power of God. v. 2. The Lord is my Strength and... read more

Exodus ‘MY STRENGTH AND SONG’ Exo_15:2 . These words occur three times in the Bible: here, in Isa_12:2 , and in Psa_18:14 . I. The lessons from the various instances of their occurrence. The first and second teach that the Mosaic deliverance is a picture-prophecy of the redemption in Christ. The third Psa_18:14, long after, and the utterance of some private person, teaches that each age and each soul has the same mighty Hand working for it. ‘As we have heard, so have we seen.’ II. The... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 15:1-18

Moses’ Song of Praise to Jehovah Exodus 15:1-18 This sublime ode falls into three divisions. We learn, first, what God is: strength in the day of battle; song in victory; salvation always. He is the God of our fathers, and our own; the mighty champion of His people. Notice that the Spirit of Inspiration gives but a line or two to Israel’s murmurings, but records this happy song with elaborate care. Praise is comely! We discover, second, what God is to His foes. They are covered by the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 15:1-27

It was a great and glorious song thatrose on the morning air on the far side of the sea. A study of it will reveal it to be a song of the King. It was a high ecstatic moment of national consciousness. In some aspect every movement of it sounds the praise of the King. The reason for the song is God Himself (verses Exo 15:1-2 ). The victory against the proud foe is wholly Jehovah's (verses Exo 15:3-10 ). The leading of His people is His alone (verses Exo 15:11-13 ). The sense of dread that falls... read more

During that time another Pharaoh had arisen who knew not Joseph. As the sons of Jacob multiplied, the king of Egypt became more and more afraid of their possible ascendancy in his empire. Therefore, moved with fear, he began to persecute them, and to... read more
