Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
but overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for his loving kindness endures forever;
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea. His loving devotion endures forever.
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever:
By him Pharaoh and his army were overturned in the Red Sea: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
"And overthrew Pharaoh and his power in the Red Sea" [Psalm 136:15]. He quickly destroys both the sin of His people and the guilt thereof by baptism.
Matthew Henry · Verses 10–22
The great things God did for Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt, were mercies which endured long to them; and our redemption by Christ, which was typified thereby, endures for ever. It is good to enter into the history of God's favours, and in each to observe, and own, that his mercy endureth for ever. He put them in possession of a good land; it was a figure of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Spurgeon · Verse 15
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea. Here comes the thunder clap. Though we hear them sounding peal upon peal, yet the judgments of the Lord were only loud mouthed mercies speaking confusion to the foe, that the chosen might tremble before him no longer. The chariots were thrown over, the horses were overthrown. The King and his warriors were alike overwhelmed; they were hurled from their chariots as locusts are tossed to and fro in the wind. Broken was the power and conquered was the pride of Egypt. Jehovah had vanquished the enemy. "Art thou not it which cut Rahab and wounded crocodile?" None are too great for the Lord to subdue, none too high for Lord to abase. The enemy in his fury drove after Israel into the sea, but his wrath found a terrible recompense beneath the waves. For his mercy endureth for ever. Yes, mercy continued to protect its children, and therefore called in the aid of justice to fulfil the capital sentence on their foes. Taken red handed, in the very act of rebellion against their sovereign Lord, the adversaries met the fate which they had themselves invited. He that goes into the midst of the sea asks to be drowned. Sin is self damnation. The sinner goes downward of his own choice, and if he finds out too late that he return, is not his blood upon his own head? The finally impenitent, terrible their doom, will not be witnesses against mercy; but rather this shall aggravate their misery, that they went on in defiance of mercy, and would yield themselves to him whose mercy endureth for ever. To the Israelites as they sung this song their one thought would be of the rescue of their fathers from fierce oppressor. Taken like a lamb from between the teeth of the lion, justly praises her Deliverer and chants aloud:
Evermore his love shall reign;
Pharaoh and his host are slain.
