Commentaries on Revelation 15:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3They sing the song of Moses - That which Moses sang, Exodus 15:1, when he and the Israelites, by the miraculous power of God, had got safely through the Red Sea, and saw their enemies all destroyed. And the song of the Lamb - The same song adapted to the state of the suffering, but now delivered Christians. Great and marvellous are thy works - God's works are descriptive of his infinite power and wisdom. Lord God Almighty - Nearly the same as Jehovah, God…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God - A song of thanksgiving and praise, such as Moses taught the Hebrew people to sing after their deliverance from Egyptian bondage.

The meaning is, that great power was evinced in redeeming them; and that the interposition of the divine goodness in doing it was marvelous, or was such as…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3O Lord God Almighty! (see also Revelation 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 16:7; 19:6; 21:22): For persecuted Christians, knowing that God is all-powerful brings comfort and security. The fact that God is just and true supports human integrity in a confused, unjust, and dishonest world. God is the supreme, universal King of the nations, not a local deity tied to one nation or a human ruler with limited power.Read the comment
