Context of Exodus 15:7

5The deep waters have covered them. They fell to the floor of the sea, like a stone. 6Your right hand, Lord, was great and powerful. Your right hand, Lord, destroyed the enemy. With your powerful authority, you killed your enemies. You were very angry with them. You killed them, like a fire burns dry grass. 8You blew on the water and it became like a wall. The deep waters stood up in a big heap. 9The enemy said, “We will go after them. We will catch them. We will destroy them with our swords. We will do whatever we want to them. We will take all their valuable things for ourselves.”

Commentaries on Exodus 15:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7In the greatness of thine excellency - To this wonderful deliverance the Prophet Isaiah refers, Isaiah 63:11-14; : "Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?
