In Exodus, chapter fifteen, verses one to eighteen, introduces the song of Moses. This song celebrates God’s victory at the Red Sea over the Egyptian powers. It is a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to God for His majesty, military might, and faithfulness to His people. The deliverance foreshadows and prophecies the victory of God’s people over Satan and the antichrist during the last days, so it is one of those songs of the redeemed called the song of Moses.
In verse one of the same chapter fifteen, the song of Moses begins at the bottom portion. “I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumph gloriously: the horse and the rider hath He thrown into the sea.” Then the next part of the song is a bit adjusted from this verse. “The Lord my God, my strength and shield, now become my victory.” Then continues, “the Lord is God, and I will praise Him, my Father’s throne, and I will exalt Him.”
However, verse two at the top portion is different from the actual song, but the words apply to the outcome experienced by the Israelites: triumph.
The other part of these verses describes the Lord as a man of war: Pharoah’s chariots and chosen captains succumb to the deep waters in the Red Sea. They were covered completely. The following verses from six to eight explain how the Lord defeat the Egyptians. Even though the enemy was determined to pursue, God proved to His people that no other so-called power is capable of the Mighty God. The other verses continue about God and who can match His dominance against the opposition.
The Israelites’ song of Moses demonstrates that God is in their midst. All they have to do is trust Him and allow Him to direct their path. However, they would find that out soon enough.
