Ex 15:1
15:1 Then {a} sang Moses and the children of Israel this song
     unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the
     LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his

         their deliverance.

Ex 15:2
15:2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my
     salvation: he [is] my God, and I will {b} prepare him an
     habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

     (b) To worship him in it.

Ex 15:3

Ex 15:7
15:7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast
     overthrown them that rose up against {e} thee: thou sentest

     (e) Those who are enemies to God's people are his enemies.

Ex 15:11
15:11 Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the {f} gods?  who
      [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, {g} fearful [in]
      praises, doing wonders?

      (f) The scripture often so calls the mighty men of the
          world.
      (g) Who ought to be praised with all fear and reverence.

Ex 15:13
15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou

      unto thy holy {h} habitation.

      (h) That is, into the land of Canaan, or into mount Zion.

Ex 15:17
15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain
      of thine {i} inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which]
      thou hast made for thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O
      Lord, [which] thy hands have established.

15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
      timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her
      with timbrels and with {k} dances.

      (k) Signifying their great joy: a custom the Jews observed
          in certain situations, Jud 11:34 but it should
          not be used as a means to justify our wanton dances.

Ex 15:21
15:21 And Miriam {l} answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he
      hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he
      thrown into the sea.

      (l) By singing the same song of thanksgiving.

Ex 15:22
15:22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went
      out into the wilderness of {m} Shur; and they went three
      days in the wilderness, and found no water.

      (m) Which was called Etham, Nu 33:8.

Ex 15:25
15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a
      tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters
      were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an
      ordinance, and there {n} he proved them,

      (n) That is, God, or Moses in God's name.

Ex 15:26
15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of
      the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is {o} right in
      his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep
      all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon
      thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am]
      the LORD that healeth thee.

      (o) Which is, to do only what God commanded.
