Context of Exodus 15:5

3The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name. 4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The waters cover them; They went down into the depths like a stone. 6Your right hand, Lord, is majestic in power; Your right hand, Lord, destroys the enemy. 7And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those who rise up against You; You send out Your burning anger, and it consumes them like chaff.
