But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
Those who held their peace while deliverance was working must not hold it when the work is done. Singing psalms is the language of holy joy as prayer is of holy desire. Strike while the mercy is fresh; when the heart is most affected, praise returns quickest to God, before time and our own deceitfulness dull the impression.

Commenting on Exodus 15:1-21
Christ Himself holds the wind in His fists and sends it where He pleases to fulfill His purpose. The sea that stood up as a wall to let Israel pass came crashing down on the Egyptians with all its force, and they sank like lead, never to rise again, as Babylon also shall sink.
AI summary
Jehovah's right hand does not merely destroy the Egyptians; it proves Him the mighty One who breaks every foe at the moment they believe themselves strong enough to annihilate His people. His burning wrath streams out like fire and devours them as stubble.
