Context of Exodus 15:11
9The enemy said: “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My desire will be gratified at their expense. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.” 10But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. Lord, who is like you among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders? 12You stretched out your right hand, and the earth swallowed them. 13With your faithful love, you will lead the people you have redeemed; you will guide them to your holy dwelling with your strength.

Commentaries on Exodus 15:11
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? - We have already seen that all the Egyptian gods, or the objects of the Egyptians' idolatry, were confounded, and rendered completely despicable, by the ten plagues, which appear to have been directed principally against them.
