Commentaries on Exodus 15:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation - As this ode was dictated by the Spirit of God, It is most natural to understand this and the following verses, to the end of the 18th, as containing a prediction of what God would do for this people which he had so miraculously redeemed.

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.

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
