Exodus 15:11 - Exposition

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? It was one great object of the whole series of miraculous visitations whereof Egypt had been the scene, that the true God, Jehovah, should be exalted far above all the gods of the heathen. (See Exodus 7:5 ; Exodus 14:4 , Exodus 14:18 .) Moses therefore makes this one of his topics of praise; and at the same time notes three points in which God has no rival—

1 . Holiness;

2 . Awfulness; and

3 . Miraculous power.

Compare Psalms 86:8 ; "Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like thy works." Fearful in praises — i.e; "to be viewed with awe even when we praise Him."
