Context of Exodus 15:13
11"Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? 12You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them. "You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode. 14The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia. 15Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

Commentaries on Exodus 15:13

In every age this song gave the tone to the poetry of Israel…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13Because of God's constant love and power, we can trust that he will keep his promises. Loving devotion is a translation of the Hebrew word khesed, which refers to the undeserved kindness and loyalty from a superior to an inferior. This is the most common way to describe God's character in the Old Testament (see Psalm 136). If God had this character but lacked the power to fulfill his good intentions for his people, his character would not benefit us. The…Read the comment
- 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." They are situated somewhat farther northward along the shore than the opposite point from which the Israelites set out. But the line of the people would be extended during the passage, and one extremity of it would reach as far north as these…Read the comment
