A lesson for us. Never forget to thank and praise God. Private and public prayers, poems, songs and public statements - all have their place in our giving Him thanks.

15 The repeated use of ‘horses’ in this chapter indicates how much confidence Egypt placed upon their horses. Maybe this indicates why the king of Israel was not to multiply horses - Deut 17:16 - lest Israel thought that horses were their deliverance also.

16:15 the question “what is it?” regarding the food of God’s provision is echoed in the questioning of the people when Jesus entered Jerusalem –Matt 21:10 – for the word there translated “who” could equally be translated “what”.

Exo 15:12-13 The song of Moses suggests that there was an earthquake in addition to the “…strong east wind…” by which “…the waters were divided.” (Exo 14:21). First, the wind divided the waters for Israel to cross over on dry land.
In Moses song, the rejoicing at the destruction of the Egyptian army (Exo 15:1,10)) was followed by an earthquake which caused the Egyptian army to flounder and “…the earth swallowed them.” (Exo 15:12). The Psalmist picks up on this point, “the earth trembled and shook…Thy way is in the sea…Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” (Psa 77:15-20). The waters then returned and the Egyptian army was no more.
The LORD was merciful to Israel, yet only 3 days journey from crossing the Read Sea they murmured against Moses (Exo 15:22-24). We must remember the means offered for our deliverance through waters of baptism and then seek to walk in God’s way, “…in newness of life.”(Rom 6:3-4).

V. 17 This would appear to be a reference to God's plan to establish them in Jerusalem (Zion) God's mountain of his inheritance where he will dwell in the sanctuary. No talking about the tabernacle as it was not established in the the mountain of his inheritance,

1. Then sang <7891>(8799) Moses <4872> and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> this song <7892> unto the LORD <3068>, and spake <559>(8799), saying <559>(8800), I will sing <7891>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>, for he hath triumphed <1342>(8804) gloriously <1342>(8800): the horse <5483> and his rider <7392>(8802) hath he thrown <7411>(8804) into the sea <3220>.
2. The LORD <3050> is my strength <5797> and song <2176>, and he is become my salvation <3444>: he <2088> is my God <410>, and I will prepare him an habitation <5115>(8686); my father's <1> God <430>, and I will exalt <7311>(8787) him.
3. The LORD <3068> is a man <376> of war <4421>: the LORD <3068> is his name <8034>.
4. Pharaoh's <6547> chariots <4818> and his host <2428> hath he cast <3384>(8804) into the sea <3220>: his chosen <4005> captains <7991> also are drowned <2883>(8795) in the Red <5488> sea <3220>.
5. The depths <8415> have covered <3680>(8762) them: they sank <3381>(8804) into the bottom <4688> as <3644> a stone <68>.

7. And in the greatness <7230> of thine excellency <1347> thou hast overthrown <2040>(8799) them that rose up against <6965>(8801) thee: thou sentest forth <7971>(8762) thy wrath <2740>, which consumed <398>(8799) them as stubble <7179>.
8. And with the blast <7307> of thy nostrils <639> the waters <4325> were gathered together <6192>(8738), the floods <5140>(8802) stood upright <5324>(8738) as an heap <5067>, and the depths <8415> were congealed <7087>(8804) in the heart <3820> of the sea <3220>.
9. The enemy <341>(8802) said <559>(8804), I will pursue <7291>(8799), I will overtake <5381>(8686), I will divide <2505>(8762) the spoil <7998>; my lust <5315> shall be satisfied <4390>(8799) upon them; I will draw <7324>(8686) my sword <2719>, my hand <3027> shall destroy <3423>(8686) them.
10. Thou didst blow <5398>(8804) with thy wind <7307>, the sea <3220> covered <3680>(8765) them: they sank <6749>(8804) as lead <5777> in the mighty <117> waters <4325>.
11. Who is like unto thee, O LORD <3068>, among the gods <410>? who is like thee, glorious <142>(8737) in holiness <6944>, fearful <3372>(8737) in praises <8416>, doing <6213>(8802) wonders <6382>?
12. Thou stretchedst out <5186>(8804) thy right hand <3225>, the earth <776> swallowed <1104>(8799) them.
13. Thou in thy mercy <2617> hast led forth <5148>(8804) the people <5971> which <2098> thou hast redeemed <1350>(8804): thou hast guided <5095>(8765) them in thy strength <5797> unto thy holy <6944> habitation <5116>.
14. The people <5971> shall hear <8085>(8804), and be afraid <7264>(8799): sorrow <2427> shall take hold <270>(8804) on the inhabitants <3427>(8802) of Palestina <6429>.
15. Then <227> the dukes <441> of Edom <123> shall be amazed <926>(8738); the mighty men <352> of Moab <4124>, trembling <7461> shall take hold <270>(8799) upon them; all the inhabitants <3427>(8802) of Canaan <3667> shall melt away <4127>(8738).
16. Fear <367> and dread <6343> shall fall <5307>(8799) upon them; by the greatness <1419> of thine arm <2220> they shall be as still <1826>(8799) as a stone <68>; till thy people <5971> pass over <5674>(8799), O LORD <3068>, till the people <5971> pass over <5674>(8799), which <2098> thou hast purchased <7069>(8804).
17. Thou shalt bring <935>(8686) them in, and plant <5193>(8799) them in the mountain <2022> of thine inheritance <5159>, in the place <4349>, O LORD <3068>, which thou hast made <6466>(8804) for thee to dwell in <3427>(8800), in the Sanctuary <4720>, O Lord <136>, which thy hands <3027> have established <3559>(8790).
18. The LORD <3068> shall reign <4427>(8799) for ever <5769> and ever <5703>.
19. For the horse <5483> of Pharaoh <6547> went in <935>(8804) with his chariots <7393> and with his horsemen <6571> into the sea <3220>, and the LORD <3068> brought again <7725>(8686) the waters <4325> of the sea <3220> upon them; but the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went <1980>(8804) on dry <3004> land in the midst <8432> of the sea <3220>.
20. And Miriam <4813> the prophetess <5031>, the sister <269> of Aaron <175>, took <3947>(8799) a timbrel <8596> in her hand <3027>; and all the women <802> went out <3318>(8799) after <310> her with timbrels <8596> and with dances <4246>.
21. And Miriam <4813> answered <6030>(8799) them, Sing <7891>(8798) ye to the LORD <3068>, for he hath triumphed <1342>(8804) gloriously <1342>(8800); the horse <5483> and his rider <7392>(8802) hath he thrown <7411>(8804) into the sea <3220>.
22. So Moses <4872> brought <5265>(8686) Israel <3478> from the Red <5488> sea <3220>, and they went out <3318>(8799) into the wilderness <4057> of Shur <7793>; and they went <3212>(8799) three <7969> days <3117> in the wilderness <4057>, and found <4672>(8804) no water <4325>.
23. And when they came <935>(8799) to Marah <4785>, they could <3201>(8804) not drink <8354>(8800) of the waters <4325> of Marah <4785>, for they were bitter <4751>: therefore the name <8034> of it was called <7121>(8804) Marah <4785>.
24. And the people <5971> murmured <3885>(8735) against Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800), What shall we drink <8354>(8799)?
25. And he cried <6817>(8799) unto the LORD <3068>; and the LORD <3068> shewed <3384>(8686) him a tree <6086>, which when he had cast <7993>(8686) into the waters <4325>, the waters <4325> were made sweet <4985>(8799): there he made <7760>(8804) for them a statute <2706> and an ordinance <4941>, and there he proved <5254>(8765) them,
26. And said <559>(8799), If thou wilt diligently <8085>(8800) hearken <8085>(8799) to the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, and wilt do <6213>(8799) that which is right <3477> in his sight <5869>, and wilt give ear <238>(8689) to his commandments <4687>, and keep <8104>(8804) all his statutes <2706>, I will put <7760>(8799) none of these diseases <4245> upon thee, which I have brought <7760>(8804) upon the Egyptians <4714>: for I am the LORD <3068> that healeth <7495>(8802) thee.
27. And they came <935>(8799) to Elim <362>, where were twelve <8147> <6240> wells <5869> of water <4325>, and threescore and ten <7657> palm trees <8558>: and they encamped <2583>(8799) there by the waters <4325>.
Notes that are not verse specific
Before reading this Psalm, read the events of David's life in 2Samuel 11 & 12. When you then read the Psalm, you will see many references back to those events. Reading the Psalms like this makes the stories of David spring to life, showing us the thoughts and prayers of that God fearing man. We can then also read on to see whether the prayer in this Psalm was answered.

69 Title The word “Shoshannim” <7799> is elsewhere for example –1Kin 7:9, 2Chron 4:5 – translated “lily”. The context of Song 6:2 where the word is translated “lilies” supports the idea that the word relates to a flower.

30. I will praise <1984>(8762) the name <8034> of God <430> with a song <7892>, and will magnify <1431>(8762) him with thanksgiving <8426>.
31. This also shall please <3190> <0> the LORD <3068> better <3190>(8799) than an ox <7794> or bullock <6499> that hath horns <7160>(8688) and hoofs <6536>(8688).
32. The humble <6035> shall see <7200>(8804) this, and be glad <8055>(8799): and your heart <3824> shall live <2421>(8799) that seek <1875>(8802) God <430>.
33. For the LORD <3068> heareth <8085>(8802) the poor <34>, and despiseth <959>(8804) not his prisoners <615>.
34. Let the heaven <8064> and earth <776> praise <1984>(8762) him, the seas <3220>, and every thing that moveth <7430>(8802) therein.
35. For God <430> will save <3467>(8686) Zion <6726>, and will build <1129>(8799) the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>: that they may dwell <3427>(8804) there, and have it in possession <3423>(8804).
36. The seed <2233> also of his servants <5650> shall inherit <5157>(8799) it: and they that love <157>(8802) his name <8034> shall dwell <7931>(8799) therein.
Notes that are not verse specific
2:23 Sabbath day healing and principles are spoken of a number of times in the first 3 chapters of Mark. Maybe you will notice them as you read the gospel.

THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN (Parallel Matt 12)
Many people have asked the question, or pondered over the question, or been very afraid for themselves because of their perceived guilt : "What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?" and : "What is the unforgivable sin?"
Over the decades I have heard this question debated, with many different suggestions and interpretations; but none of them were the explanation that the Apostle Mark gives; especially when he quotes the words of Jesus: "He said this because..." In v28 Jesus said "...All manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven". This has led brothers and sisters to be very fearful, convinced that they are guilty because of some "serious" sin or other, and their future is hopeless. In all such concerned brothers and sisters, I don't believe I've met one who is gulty of the "unforgivable sin".
Let's look at the context. Jesus had just healed a deformed man. The Pharisees didn't like Jesus healing the sick, because the onlookers followed in awe and praise, seeing him as a peaceful, loving and Godly man -- quite different to the regular teachers. And their hatred grew when Jesus healed on the Sabbath. So they did what they were good at: they insulted and verbally abused him. On this occasion they accused him of getting rid of the man's health problem, or casting out demons/devils, by the power of the "chief of the demons/devils" (Beelzebub).
Apart from being totally illogical, which Jesus had to explain to them, this was a complete insult on the Supreme God, whose Power was there in the hands of Jesus to do the healing. Attributing the healing work of Jesus to the chief of all evil spirits was an insult too far, and a sin past the point of no return to deserve forgiveness by God -- whose right and priviledge it is to decide such a fate for those guilty of it.
Jesus made the remark in verse 29 "...because..." of the Pharisee's insults of verse 22.
That, simply put, is what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is. Let us then not be afraid of ideas/beliefs/interpretations that Jesus does NOT give. They can lead us needlessly to despair.

1. And <2532> he entered <1525>(5627) again <3825> into <1519> the synagogue <4864>; and <2532> there was <2258>(5713) a man <444> there <1563> which had <2192>(5723) a withered <3583>(5772) hand <5495>.

And <2532> he stretched it out <1614>(5656): and <2532> his <846> hand <5495> was restored <600>(5681) whole <5199> as <5613> the other <243>.
6. And <2532> the Pharisees <5330> went forth <1831>(5631), and straightway <2112> took <4160>(5707) counsel <4824> with <3326> the Herodians <2265> against <2596> him <846>, how <3704> they might destroy <622>(5661) him <846>.
7. But <2532> Jesus <2424> withdrew himself <402>(5656) with <3326> his <848> disciples <3101> to <4314> the sea <2281>: and <2532> a great <4183> multitude <4128> from <575> Galilee <1056> followed <190>(5656) him <846>, and <2532> from <575> Judaea <2449>,
8. And <2532> from <575> Jerusalem <2414>, and <2532> from <575> Idumaea <2401>, and <2532> from beyond <4008> Jordan <2446>; and <2532> they about <4012> Tyre <5184> and <2532> Sidon <4605>, a great <4183> multitude <4128>, when they had heard <191>(5660) what great things <3745> he did <4160>(5707), came <2064>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>.
9. And <2532> he spake <2036>(5627) to his <848> disciples <3101>, that <2443> a small ship <4142> should wait on <4342>(5725) him <846> because <1223> of the multitude <3793>, lest <3363> they should throng <2346>(5725) him <846>.
10. For <1063> he had healed <2323>(5656) many <4183>; insomuch that <5620> they pressed upon <1968>(5721) him <846> for to <2443> touch <680>(5672) him <846>, as many as <3745> had <2192>(5707) plagues <3148>.
11. And <2532> unclean <169> spirits <4151>, when <3752> they saw <2334>(5707) him <846>, fell down before <4363>(5707) him <846>, and <2532> cried <2896>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), <3754> Thou <4771> art <1488>(5748) the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
12. And <2532> he straitly <4183> charged <2008>(5707) them <846> that <3363> <0> they should <4160> <0> not <3363> make <4160>(5661) him <846> known <5318>.
13. And <2532> he goeth up <305>(5719) into <1519> a mountain <3735>, and <2532> calleth <4341>(5736) unto him whom <3739> he <846> would <2309>(5707): and <2532> they came <565>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>.
14. And <2532> he ordained <4160>(5656) twelve <1427>, that <2443> they should be <5600>(5753) with <3326> him <846>, and <2532> that <2443> he might send <649> <0> them <846> forth <649>(5725) to preach <2784>(5721),
15. And <2532> to have <2192>(5721) power <1849> to heal <2323>(5721) sicknesses <3554>, and <2532> to cast out <1544>(5721) devils <1140>:
16. And <2532> Simon <4613> he surnamed <2007>(5656) <3686> Peter <4074>;
17. And <2532> James <2385> the son <3588> of Zebedee <2199>, and <2532> John <2491> the brother <80> of James <2385>; and <2532> he surnamed <2007>(5656) <3686> them <846> Boanerges <993>, which <3603> is <2076>(5748), The sons <5207> of thunder <1027>:
18. And <2532> Andrew <406>, and <2532> Philip <5376>, and <2532> Bartholomew <918>, and <2532> Matthew <3156>, and <2532> Thomas <2381>, and <2532> James <2385> the son <3588> of Alphaeus <256>, and <2532> Thaddaeus <2280>, and <2532> Simon <4613> the Canaanite <2581>,
19. And <2532> Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, which <3739> also <2532> betrayed <3860>(5656) him <846>: and <2532> they went <2064>(5736) into <1519> an house <3624>.
20. And <2532> the multitude <3793> cometh together <4905>(5736) again <3825>, so that <5620> they <846> could <1410>(5738) not <3361> so much as <3383> eat <5315>(5629) bread <740>.
21. And <2532> when his <846> friends <3844> heard <191>(5660) of it, they went out <1831>(5627) to lay hold <2902>(5658) on him <846>: for <1063> they said <3004>(5707), <3754> He is beside himself <1839>(5627).
22. And <2532> the scribes <1122> which <3588> came down <2597>(5631) from <575> Jerusalem <2414> said <3004>(5707), <3754> He hath <2192>(5719) Beelzebub <954>, <3754> and <2532> by <1722> the prince <758> of the devils <1140> casteth he out <1544>(5719) devils <1140>.
23. And <2532> he called <4341>(5666) them <846> unto him, and said <3004>(5707) unto them <846> in <1722> parables <3850>, How <4459> can <1410>(5736) Satan <4567> cast out <1544>(5721) Satan <4567>?
24. And <2532> if <1437> a kingdom <932> be divided <3307>(5686) against <1909> itself <1438>, that <1565> kingdom <932> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) stand <2476>(5683).
25. And <2532> if <1437> a house <3614> be divided <3307>(5686) against <1909> itself <1438>, that <1565> house <3614> cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) stand <2476>(5683).
26. And <2532> if <1487> Satan <4567> rise up <450>(5627) against <1909> himself <1438>, and <2532> be divided <3307>(5769), he cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) stand <2476>(5683), but <235> hath <2192>(5719) an end <5056>.
27. No man <3762> can <3756> <1410>(5736) enter <1525>(5631) into <1519> a strong man's <2478> house <3614>, and spoil <1283>(5658) his <846> goods <4632>, except <3362> he will <1210> <0> first <4412> bind <1210>(5661) the strong man <2478>; and <2532> then <5119> he will spoil <1283>(5692) his <846> house <3614>.
28. Verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, <3754> All <3956> sins <265> shall be forgiven <863>(5701) unto the sons <5207> of men <444>, and <2532> blasphemies <988> wherewith <3745> soever <302> they shall blaspheme <987>(5661):
29. But <1161> he that <302> shall blaspheme <987>(5661) against <1519> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> hath <2192>(5719) never <3756> <1519> <165> forgiveness <859>, but <235> is <2076>(5748) in danger <1777> of eternal <166> damnation <2920>:
30. Because <3754> they said <3004>(5707), He hath <2192>(5719) an unclean <169> spirit <4151>.
31. There came <2064>(5736) then <3767> his <846> brethren <80> and <2532> his mother <3384>, and <2532>, standing <2476>(5761) without <1854>, sent <649>(5656) unto <4314> him <846>, calling <5455>(5723) him <846>.
32. And <2532> the multitude <3793> sat <2521>(5711) about <4012> him <846>, and <1161> they said <2036>(5627) unto him <846>, Behold <2400>(5628), thy <4675> mother <3384> and <2532> thy <4675> brethren <80> without <1854> seek for <2212>(5719) thee <4571>.
33. And <2532> he answered <611>(5662) them <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Who <5101> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> mother <3384>, or <2228> my <3450> brethren <80>?
34. And <2532> he looked <4017>(5671) round about <2945> on them which <3588> sat <2521>(5740) about <4012> him <848>, and said <3004>(5719), Behold <2396> my <3450> mother <3384> and <2532> my <3450> brethren <80>!
35. For <1063> whosoever <3739> <302> shall do <4160>(5661) the will <2307> of God <2316>, the same <3778> is <2076>(5748) my <3450> brother <80>, and <2532> my <3450> sister <79>, and <2532> mother <3384>.
