Notes on verse:
“Some trust in”: Trust, boast, and praise must not be directed to the wrong objects but only to God Himself (compare e.g., Deut. 17:16; 20:1-4; Lev. 26:7-8; Psalm 33:16-17; Isa. 31:1-3; Jer. 9:23-24; Zech. 4:6).
Preparation for battle is necessary, but trust in God is priority one (33:16-17; Deut. 20:1; Prov. 21:31). “The name of the Lord” refers to His character, reputation and nature. David gained confidence as he meditated on his God.
Pharaoh had many chariots and many horses, but they were no help when he followed the Israelites into the Red Sea. Pharaoh’s horses and chariots were drowned, along with his mighty warriors when they came against God’s people. Notice in the following verses that, Moses used the name of the Lord to fight Pharaoh.
Exodus 14:13-14 “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Now let us see the results of Moses’ faith in God.
Exodus 15:1-6 “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” “The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.” “The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.” “Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.” “The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.” “Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.”
