Exodus 15:2 is a powerful declaration of praise and thanksgiving, often referred to as a key verse in the "Song of the Sea," sung by Moses and the Israelites after their miraculous escape from the Egyptian army. The verse states, "The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him." This passage recognizes God's strength as the source of their deliverance, not their own. It frames their response as a joyful "song" because God, who had just saved them from what seemed like an impossible situation, is the reason for their celebration. The declaration "my God" also signifies a deeply personal relationship with the divine, while "my father's God" connects their current experience of deliverance to the long history of God's faithfulness to their ancestors, from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
