Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you — majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? The rhetorical question is the theological climax of the song: no one. The incomparability of God — who is like you? — is the declaration that the entire Exodus has been building toward. The plague sequence, Pharaoh's refusals, the hardening, the sea crossing — all of it has been a curriculum designed to produce this confession. The three descriptors — majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders — unite God's character (holiness, glory) with His actions (wonders) in a single declaration. Psalm 77:13–14 echoes this: who is as great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles. Revelation 15:3–4 quotes this verse directly as the song of the redeemed at the end of history: who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy.
