Context — The Song at the Sea
4Pharaoh’s chariots and army He has cast into the sea; the finest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
5The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone.
6Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy.
7You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble. 8At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 15:6
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 15:6
Exodus 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.Ver. 6. Hath dashed in pieces.] "It is a fearful thing to fall into the" punishing "hands of the living God." For "who knoweth the power of his anger?"
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 15:6
(6-10) The second stanza, or strophe, expands the subject-matter of the first. It begins, like the first, with some general expressions, setting forth the glory and power of Jehovah (Exodus 15:6-7), as shown in the recent catastrophe. From this it proceeds to the catastrophe itself, which it describes in considerable detail, noting (1) the sudden rise of the wind (Exodus 15:8); (2) the gathering together of the waters into separate masses (ibid.); (3) the boastful and vindictive temper of the Egyptians (ibid.); (4) the rise of a second wind (Exodus 15:9); (5) the consequent return of the waters; and (6) the submerging of the host by them. The second stanza is considerably longer than the first, consisting of twelve, whereas the first consists of only seven, lines.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 15:6
Verse 6. Thy right hand] Thy omnipotence, manifested in a most extraordinary way.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 15:6
6–10. How Jehovah, by His power, had annihilated the foe: elated with the hope of plunder, and confident of victory, they pursued Israel into the path cut through the sea; He but blew with His wind, and the waters closed upon them.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 15:6
6-8. Second strain. Now the poet breaks out into a bold apostrophe to Jehovah.
