Ex. 15:1‑19• 1{i}Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying{/i},{HR}I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously:{HR}The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
 2Jah is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation.{HR}{i}This is my God, and I will glorify him;{HR}My father's God, and I will extol him.{/i}
 3{i}Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.{HR}{/i}
 4{i}Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea;{HR}His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.{HR}{/i}
 5{i}The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.{HR}{/i}
 6{i}Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power:{HR}Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.{HR}{/i}
 7{i}And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries:{HR}Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.{HR}{/i}
 8{i}And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up;{HR}The streams stood as a mound;{HR}The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.{HR}{/i}
 9{i}The enemy said, I will pursue,{HR}I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;{HR}My soul shall be sated upon them;{HR}I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.{HR}{/i}
 10{i}Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them;{HR}They sank as lead in the mighty waters.{HR}{/i}
 11{i}Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods?{HR}Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness,{HR}Fearful in praises, doing wonders?{HR}{/i}
 12{i}Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,{HR}The earth swallowed them.{HR}{/i}
 13{i}Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed;{HR}Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.{HR}{/i}
 14{i}The peoples heard it, they were afraid:{HR}A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.{HR}{/i}
 15{i}Then the princes of Edom were amazed;{HR}The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them;{HR}All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.{HR}{/i}
 16{i}Fear and dread fall upon them;{HR}By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone;{HR}Till thy people pass over, Jehovah,{HR}Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.{HR}{/i}
 17Thou shalt bring them in,{HR}And plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,{HR}In the place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for Thee to dwell in,{HR}In the sanctuary, O Jehovah, which thy hands have established.
 18Jehovah shall reign forever and ever.
 19{i}For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry ground through the midst of the sea.{/i} (Ex. 15:1‑19)
;
Deut. 32:1‑43• 1Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;{HR}and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
 2{i}My doctrine shall drop as rain,{HR}My speech flow down as dew,{HR}As small rain upon the tender herb,{HR}And as showers on the grass.{HR}{/i}
 3{i}For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim:{HR}Ascribe greatness unto our God!{HR}{/i}
 4{i}He is the Rock{/i}, his doing is perfect:{HR}For all his ways are judgment:{HR}A God of truth without iniquity,{HR}Just and right is he.
 5{i}They have dealt corruptly with him;{HR}Not his children's is their spot:{HR}—A crooked and perverted generation!{HR}{/i}
 6{i}Do ye thus requite Jehovah,{HR}Foolish and unwise people?{HR}Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?{HR}Hath he not made thee and established thee?{HR}{/i}
 7{i}Remember the days of old,{HR}Consider the years of generation to generation;{HR}Ask thy father, and he will show thee;{HR}Thine elders, and they will tell thee.{HR}{/i}
 8When the Most High (Elion) divided to the nations their inheritance,{HR}When he separated the sons of Adam,{HR}He set the bounds of the people{HR}According to the number of the children of Israel.
 9{i}For Jehovah's portion is his people;{HR}Jacob the lot of his inheritance.{HR}{/i}
 10{i}He found him in a desert land,{HR}And in the waste, howling wilderness;{HR}He compassed him about, he watched over him,{HR}He preserved him as the apple of his eye.{HR}{/i}
 11{i}As the eagle stirreth up its nest,{HR}Hovereth over its young,{HR}Spreadeth out its wings,{HR}Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,{HR}{/i}
 12{i}So Jehovah alone did lead him,{HR}And no strange god was with him.{HR}{/i}
 13{i}He made him ride on the high places of the earth,{HR}And he ate the produce of the field;{HR}And he made him suck honey out of the crag,{HR}And oil out of the flinty rock;{HR}{/i}
 14{i}Cream of kine, and milk of sheep,{HR}With the fat of lambs,{HR}And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats,{HR}With the fat of kidneys of wheat;{HR}And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.{HR}{/i}
 15{i}Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked{HR}—Thou art waxen fat,{HR}Thou art grown thick,{HR}And thou art covered with fatness;{HR}—He gave up God who made him,{HR}And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.{HR}{/i}
 16{i}They moved him to jealousy with strange gods,{HR}With abominations did they provoke him to anger.{HR}{/i}
 17{i}They sacrificed unto demons who are not God;{/i}{HR}To gods whom they knew not,{HR}To new gods that came newly up,{HR}Whom your fathers feared not.
 18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,{HR}And hast forgotten God that formed thee.
 19{i}And Jehovah saw it, and despised them,{HR}Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.{HR}{/i}
 20{i}And he said, I will hide my face from them,{HR}I will see what their end shall be;{HR}For they are a perverse generation,{HR}Children in whom is no faithfulness.{HR}{/i}
 21{i}They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God;{HR}They have exasperated me with their vanities;{HR}And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people;{HR}With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.{HR}{/i}
 22{i}For a fire is kindled in mine anger,{HR}And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol,{HR}And shall consume the earth and its produce,{HR}And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.{HR}{/i}
 23{i}I will heap mischiefs upon them;{HR}Mine arrows will I spend against them.{HR}{/i}
 24{i}They shall be consumed with hunger,{HR}And devoured with burning heat,{HR}And with poisonous pestilence;{HR}And the teeth of beasts will I send against them,{HR}With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.{HR}{/i}
 25{i}From without shall the sword bereave them,{HR}And in the chambers, terror{HR}—Both the young man and the virgin,{HR}The suckling with the man of gray hairs.{HR}{/i}
 26{i}I would say, I will scatter,{HR}I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,{HR}{/i}
 27{i}If I did not fear provocation from the enemy,{HR}Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it,{HR}Lest they should say, Our hand is high,{HR}And Jehovah has not done all this.{HR}{/i}
 28{i}For they are a nation void of counsel,{HR}And understanding is not in them.{HR}{/i}
 29{i}Oh that they had been wise!{HR}They would have understood this;{HR}They would have considered their latter end!{HR}{/i}
 30{i}How could one chase a thousand,{HR}And two put ten thousand to flight,{HR}Were it not that their Rock had sold them,{HR}And Jehovah had delivered them up?{HR}{/i}
 31{i}For their rock is not as our Rock:{HR}Let our enemies themselves be judges.{HR}{/i}
 32{i}For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,{HR}And of the fields of Gomorrah:{HR}Their grapes are grapes of poison,{HR}Bitter are their clusters;{HR}{/i}
 33{i}Their wine is the poison of dragons,{HR}And the cruel venom of vipers.{HR}{/i}
 34{i}Is not this hidden with me,{HR}Sealed up among my treasures?{HR}{/i}
 35{i}Vengeance is mine, and recompense,{HR}For the time when their foot shall slip.{HR}For the day of their calamity is at hand,{HR}And the things that shall come upon them make haste.{HR}{/i}
 36For Jehovah shall judge his people,{HR}And repent himself for his servants,{HR}When he seeth that their power is gone,{HR}And there is none shut up or left.
 37And he shall say, Where are their gods,{HR}Their rock in whom they trusted,
 38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,{HR}And drank the wine of their drink-offerings?{HR}Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
 39See now that I, even I, am he,{HR}And there is no god with me:{HR}I kill, and I make alive;{HR}I wound, and I heal:{HR}Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
 40For I lift up my hand to heaven,{HR}And say, I live forever.
 41If I whet my glittering sword,{HR}And mine hand take hold on judgment;{HR}I will render vengeance to mine enemies,{HR}And will reward them that hate me.
 42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,{HR}And my sword shall devour flesh;{HR}And that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,{HR}From the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
 43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:{HR}For he will avenge the blood of his servants,{HR}And will render vengeance to his adversaries,{HR}And will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. (Deut. 32:1‑43)

 27{i}If I did not fear provocation from the enemy,{HR}Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it,{HR}Lest they should say, Our hand is high,{HR}And Jehovah has not done all this.{HR}{/i}

• [See Psa. 103:7] The distinction is between the deep hidden ways of the Lord which Moses knew, and the public acts which were conspicuous before all Israel. Here these saints take up, not His ways first, but His displayed works…. And then they rise to celebrate His ways. (“Lectures on Revelation 15” by W. Kelly)

• Moses sang of God's great deliverance of His people and judgment on their enemies. The song of the Lamb is evidently not the song of His redeeming love, but of His work of judgment, as is characteristic of the Book of Revelation. Verses 3 and 4 show this, as they give the substance of the song, ending with the words, "Thy judgments are made manifest." (“Lectures on Revelation 15” by W. Kelly)

a
It means "king of nations," not of "saints"; and a very important error it is to be expunged. There is no doubt of it. There is not a scholar who knows anything at all about these matters who would not agree with me. The notion of "king of saints" is very unscriptural; and it is a very important mistake because the proper notion of the relation of a king to his people is one of distance and of graduated ranks in the kingdom. The word "king" implies graduated ranks, all having their place and their measure of nearness or of distance, and, consequently, there are all kinds of relative distance among themselves. That is not the case in the church of God, because the least Christian is as much a member of Christ’s body as the greatest. You see the fact of the membership of the body puts aside all these questions of relative or different distances. In the kingdom there will be these differences. See following note to verse 3.
b
There is beyond doubt no such thought or phrase in scripture as "King of saints." It is one of the worst readings of the rather vicious T. R. of the Revelation. Not only is it against the best witnesses, but is conveys an unfounded notion of mischievous consequence. Also, it is hard to conceive why the Revisers preferred "ages," to "nations," in the face of . No doubt the authorities are conflicting; but the Old Testament allusion is evident, and the context confirms it in the verse that follows. See previous note to verse 3.
