כִּֽי־הָיִ֨יתָ מָע֥וֹז לַדָּ֛ל מָע֥וֹז לָאֶבְי֖וֹן בַּצַּר־ל֑וֹ מַחְסֶ֤ה מִזֶּ֙רֶם֙ צֵ֣ל מֵחֹ֔רֶב כִּ֛י ר֥וּחַ עָרִיצִ֖ים כְּזֶ֥רֶם קִֽיר׃
Ибо Ты был оплотом для бедных, Оплот для нуждающихся в его бедственном положении, Убежище от шторма, тень от жары; Ибо взрыв страшных был как буря у стены.
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
"and the children of Israel went out with a high hand": Scripture hereby apprises us that when the Egyptians were pursuing Israel, they vilified and execrated and cursed, while Israel exalted, praised, and sang a song of glorification to the L–rd of the war, as it is written (Psalms 149:6) "the exalting of G–d in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands," and (Ibid. 57:6) "Exalted over the heavens is G–d, etc.", and (Isaiah 25:1) "O L–rd, You are my G–d. I will exalt you. I will praise Your name. For You wrought wondrously. Counsel from afar, enduring faith."
