Context of Exodus 15:5
3The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name. 4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; His chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep [water] covers them; [Clad in armor] they sank into the depths like a stone. 6Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. 7In the greatness of Your majesty You overthrow and annihilate those [adversaries] who rise [in rebellion] against You; You send out Your fury, and it consumes them like chaff.
