Context of Exodus 15:5
3The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name. 4Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone. 6Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy. 7You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
