‏ Exodus 15:1

Triumphant Song of the Israelites

This section records how the Israelites celebrated their victory at the Red Sea. After God rescued them from the Egyptians, Moses led the people in a song of thanksgiving and praise. This song not only expressed their immediate joy but also became a model for worship and faith. It shows how God’s deliverance should move His people to praise, and how special mercies should be remembered and celebrated.

v. 1: Moses and the Israelites sang to the Lord after crossing the Red Sea. They praised God for His triumph over Pharaoh’s army, saying,“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea”. This victory was not only a rescue but a demonstration of God’s power. The people gave all the glory to God, not to themselves or Moses. This teaches us that our joy and praise must be directed to God alone when He saves us.
