AC 8300 - From a Song of Moses

Who is like You among the gods, O Jehovah?
Who is like You, magnificent in holiness,
to be venerated with praises,
doing wonders?
You stretched out Your right hand,
the earth swallowed them.
In Your mercy You have led this people
[whom] you have redeemed;
in Your strength You have brought them
to the dwelling-place of Your holiness.
(Exodus 15:11-13)

'Who is like You among the gods, O Jehovah?'
means that every truth of good
emanates from the Lord's Divine Human.
'Who is like You in holiness'
means that He is the Source of everything holy.
'To be venerated with praises'
means that to Him alone belong glory and thanksgiving.
'Doing wonders?'
means that He is the Source of all the means
through which comes power.
'You stretched out Your right hand'
means that the exercising of power over all things
became apparent from this.
'The earth swallowed them'
means that as a result simply of His presence
damnation and hell befell them.
'In Your mercy You have led this people'
means the Divine flowing in among those
who have been refraining from evils
and consequently receiving good.
'You have redeemed'
means those whom He has delivered from hell.
'In Your strength You have brought them
to the dwelling-place of Your holiness'
means that the Lord's Divine power
has raised them to heaven, to the Divine there.
