⁴⁰ How often they, Resisted him in the desert, Vexed him, in the waste: ⁴¹ Yea they again put GOD to the test, And, to the Holy One of Israel, caused they sorrow: ⁴² They remembered not his hand - The day, When he ransomed them from the adversary; ⁴³ When he set, in Egypt, his signs, And his wonders, in the plain of Zoan; ⁴⁴ When he turned, into blood, their Nile-streams, And, their own rivers, could they not drink; ⁴⁵ He sent among them, The gad-fly, and it devoured them, And the frog, and it despoiled them; ⁴⁶ When he gave to the corn-locust their produce, And their toil, to the swarming locust; ⁴⁷ He killed, with hail, their vine, And their sycomores, with frost: ⁴⁸ When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers; ⁴⁹ He sent among them the heat of his anger, Wrath and indignation and distress, - A mission of messengers of misfortune:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he led them on safely,.... Through the sea, where the waters were on each side; and through the wilderness, in which were serpents and scorpions, and where they were attacked by many powerful enemies:

so that they feared not; for though they feared for a while at the Red sea, yet their fears were soon silenced, and they by faith passed through the Red sea as on dry land; and especially their fears were gone, when they saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore; wherefore it follows:

but the sea overwhelmed their enemies; or "covered" them p; the waters returned, and overflowed and drowned the Egyptians, who were their implacable enemies, and vowed their destruction, and were sure of it; but now the Israelites had nothing to fear from them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And he led them on safely, so that they feared not - In hope; in confidence; so that they had no occasion for alarm. He showed himself able and willing to defend them.

But the sea overwhelmed their enemies - Margin, as in Hebrew, covered. See Exodus 14:27-28; Exodus 15:10.
