15:3
They sang the song of Moses, this stresses the continuity of the Bible. Abraham and Moses are often looked back on in the New Testament, and the tone is almost always that the gospel is the fulfilment of the Old Testament promises. The words of this short song are reminiscent of the Old Testament, e.g. Ps 86:10. The Lord’s deeds are great and marvellous, and we should note that this is coming just before various plagues will be poured out. All that God does is just and true, and He is the King of the Nations. Many object to the ways of the Lord, but on the last day all His ways will be shown to have been true.
15:4
Everyone should fear the Lord and give glory to His Name. For He alone is Holy. There is no one like our God. No one else who created the universe and everything in it, no one else who keeps the universe going. One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess, for all will see that Christ is Lord. There will come a time when God makes it obvious to the whole world the righteousness of all His acts.
