Context of Exodus 15:10
8With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up, The flowing waters stood up like a mound; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied against them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall dispossess them and drive them out.’ You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; [Clad in armor] they sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendor, working wonders? 12You stretched out Your right hand, The sea swallowed them.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-271. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel--The scene of this thanksgiving song is supposed to have been at the landing place on the eastern shore of the Red Sea, at Ayoun Musa, "the fountains of Moses."
