Who among the gods is like You, O LORD?
This phrase begins with a rhetorical question that emphasizes the uniqueness and supremacy of Yahweh. The Hebrew word for "gods" here is "elim," which can refer to deities or powerful beings. In the ancient Near Eastern context, polytheism was prevalent, with many cultures worshiping a pantheon of gods. However, this verse asserts the monotheistic belief that Yahweh is incomparable and supreme over any other so-called gods. The use of "O LORD" translates the divine name "Yahweh," which signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with Israel.

Who is like You—majestic in holiness
The phrase "majestic in holiness" highlights God's transcendence and purity. The Hebrew word for "majestic" is "adar," which conveys a sense of grandeur and splendor. "Holiness" is translated from "qodesh," indicating separation from all that is common or profane. In the biblical context, God's holiness is not just about moral purity but also His otherness and divine nature. This holiness sets God apart from all other beings and underscores His worthiness of worship and reverence.

revered with praises
The term "revered" comes from the Hebrew "yare," meaning to fear or stand in awe. This reverence is not about terror but a profound respect and honor. "Praises" is translated from "tehillot," which refers to songs or expressions of adoration. In the context of Israel's deliverance from Egypt, this reverence is a response to God's mighty acts and His faithfulness to His people. The Israelites' praise is a natural outflow of their recognition of God's power and goodness.

performing wonders?
The phrase "performing wonders" speaks to God's miraculous deeds, translated from the Hebrew "pele," meaning extraordinary or marvelous acts. Throughout the Exodus narrative, God demonstrated His power through signs and wonders, such as the plagues in Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea. These acts are not just displays of power but also revelations of God's character and His commitment to His covenant promises. The wonders serve as a testament to God's active involvement in the world and His ability to intervene on behalf of His people.

(11, 12) Stanza 3 is a short one, entering into no details--simply summing up the entire result in two sentences: one, parallel to Exodus 15:2-3; Exodus 15:6-7, setting forth the glory of God, as shown in the occurrences; the other emphasising the great fact of the occasion, and stating it in the briefest possible terms: "Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them." This second clause is parallel to Exodus 15:4-5; Exodus 15:8-10. It concentrates into four words the gist of those two passages.

(11) Who is like unto thee . . . Among the gods ?--This is undoubtedly the true meaning. It had been a main object of the entire series of miraculous visitations to show that Jehovah was "exalted far above all other gods." (See Exodus 7:5; Exodus 14:4; Exodus 14:18.) Moses now emphasises the contrast by adducing three points on which Jehovah is unapproachable--holiness, awefulness, and miraculous power. God is (1) "glorious in holiness," exalted in this respect far, far above all other beings; (2) "fearful in praises"--the proper object of the profoundest awe, even to those who approach Him with praise and thanksgiving; and (3) one who "doeth wonders," who both through nature, and on occasions overruling nature, accomplishes the most astonishing results, causing all men to marvel at His Almighty power. The gods of the heathen were, in fact, either nonentities or evil spirits. So far as they were the former, they could come into no comparison at all with Jehovah; so far as they were the latter, they fell infinitely short of Him in every respect. Of holiness they possessed no remnant; in awfulness they were immeasurably inferior; in the ability to work wonders they did not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. "Among the gods," as the Psalmist says, "there is none like unto thee, O Lord; there is none that can do as thou doest" (Psalm 86:8). . . .

Verses 11, 12 contain the third stanza of the first division of the ode. It is short compared to the other two, containing merely a fresh ascription of praise to God, cast in anew form; and a repetition of the great fact which the poem commemorates - the Egyptian overthrow. We conceive that Miriam's chorus (ver. 21) was again interposed between verses 10 and 11. Verse 11. - 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, 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. . . .
