In the greatness of Your majesty
This phrase highlights the overwhelming and awe-inspiring nature of God's divine presence and authority. The Hebrew word for "majesty" is "גָּאוֹן" (ga'on), which conveys a sense of exaltation and grandeur. In the context of the Exodus, this majesty is demonstrated through God's miraculous acts, such as the parting of the Red Sea. Historically, the Israelites would have understood this as a direct contrast to the earthly majesty of Pharaoh, emphasizing that God's power far surpasses any human authority.

You overthrow those who rise against You
The term "overthrow" comes from the Hebrew "הָרַס" (haras), meaning to demolish or destroy. This reflects God's active role in defending His people and His divine justice against those who oppose Him. The historical context here is the defeat of the Egyptian army, which had pursued the Israelites. This act of divine intervention serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His commitment to protect His covenant people.

You unleash Your burning anger
The phrase "burning anger" is derived from the Hebrew "חָרוֹן אַף" (charon af), which literally means "the heat of the nose," a vivid metaphor for intense wrath. This anthropomorphic expression illustrates God's righteous indignation against sin and rebellion. In the narrative of Exodus, this anger is directed towards the Egyptians who enslaved and oppressed the Israelites, demonstrating that God's justice is both personal and powerful.

it consumes them like stubble
The imagery of "stubble" is significant, as stubble is dry and easily consumed by fire. The Hebrew word "קַשׁ" (qash) refers to the leftover stalks of grain, symbolizing something insubstantial and fleeting. This metaphor underscores the totality and swiftness of God's judgment. In the historical context of the Exodus, the Egyptian forces are depicted as being utterly destroyed, emphasizing the futility of opposing God's will. This serves as a powerful reminder of the ultimate triumph of divine justice over human arrogance.

Verse 7. - Thou hast overthrown, etc. Here again the verbs are future. Translate - "thou wilt overthrow," or "thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee; thou (wilt send) sendest forth thy wrath, which consumes them as stubble." The metaphor in the last clause was one known to the Egyptians.
