Kaisipang Hudyo sa Mga Awit 115:15: Akeidat Yitzchak

(1) In order for a song of praise to be proper, it needs to mention both the ones who have performed glorious deeds as well as the nature of those deeds. Also, the people who acknowledge the glorious deeds need to be identified in such a song. Then did Moses and the children of Israel sing," identifies the latter. "This song," identifies the song of thanks itself. "To the Lord who is high exalted," identifies the subject of the song. "Horse and rider He flung into the sea," identifies the event that is being acknowledged. (2) The use of the name koh in the next verse to describe G-d is meant to portray a single attribute of G-d only, namely the manifestation of G-d when He rescues those that are in mortal danger. The name koh is like some others, only a fraction of the concepts represented by the four lettered name of G-d. If we find these two names coupled with one another in Psalms on several occasions (118,5-6; 115,15-18), the idea is that the recognition of G-d in all His manifestations is the purpose of being allowed to see Him as koh, as Saviour in times of distress. "G-d is a man of war,"- when hashem reveals Himself as the man of war par excellence, this does not in any way diminish His stature as yud kay vav kay, as the Eternal and everything else that that name implies.
