How preachers through history handled this text
15 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 15, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“This song is the most ancient we know of. It is a holy song, to the honour of God, to exalt his name, and celebrate his praise, and his only, not in the least to magnify any man. Holiness to the Lord is in every part of it. It may be considered as typical, and prophetical of the final destruction of the enemies of the church. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. They have work to do, temptations to grapple with, and afflictions to bear, and are weak in themselves; but his grace is their strength. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 15:1–21 (Public Domain)
