“He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.”
The reference to God turning the sea into dry land and the people crossing the river on foot recalls the exodus narrative and the crossing of the Jordan. The imagery of water becoming dry land suggests God's power to overturn natural processes and create the conditions for the people's deliverance. The crossing of the people indicates that divine action serves the salvation of the covenant community. This verse grounds worship in historical memory of divine salvific action.
