Context — The Song at the Sea
7You overthrew Your adversaries by Your great majesty. You unleashed Your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.
8At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; like a wall the currents stood firm; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
9The enemy declared, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.’
10But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. 11Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?Cross References

Exodus 15:9 Summary
In Exodus 15:9, the enemy, Pharaoh, is confident that he will catch up to the Israelites and destroy them, but this pride and arrogance will ultimately lead to his downfall, as seen in Exodus 15:10. This verse teaches us that we should not rely on our own strength, but instead trust in God's power and sovereignty, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-7 and Jeremiah 17:7-8. Just like the Israelites, we can face overwhelming circumstances, but we can trust that God will deliver us, as promised in Isaiah 43:2-3 and Romans 8:28. By trusting in God and not our own abilities, we can experience His power and faithfulness in our lives, and give Him thanks and praise for His goodness, as seen in Exodus 15:1-21.

How does this verse apply to our lives today?
This verse reminds us that, like the Israelites, we can face overwhelming circumstances, but we can trust in God's power and deliverance, as promised in Isaiah 43:2-3 and Romans 8:28, and we should beware of the dangers of pride and self-reliance, instead choosing to trust in Him.

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 15:9
The enemy said,.... That is, Pharaoh, who repented that he had let Israel go; an emblem of Satan, who when the people of God are taken out of his hands is uneasy at it, and seeks to recover them
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 15:9
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 15:9
My lust; the lust of covetousness and revenge too. Shall destroy them; or, take possession of them and theirs: see of this word, ,24.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 15:9
Exodus 15:9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.Ver. 9. The enemy said, I will.] They made account all was their own, but were soon confuted, as were likewise Sisera and Sennacherib. Where the beginning of a business is confidence, the end is confusion.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 15:9
(9) The enemy said.—Pharaoh’s soldiers were as anxious as their master to come to blows. (See above, Exodus 15:7.) They hoped to acquire the rich spoil which the Israelites had carried off from Egypt in the shape of gold and silver ornaments and goodly apparel (Exodus 12:35-36), as well as their flocks and herds (Exodus 12:38). My lust.—Heb., my soul. The particular passion to be gratified was cupidity, or desire of riches. Destroy them.—So the Vulg., Onkelos, Rosenmόller, Knobel, Kalisch, and others. The meaning “re-possess,” given in the margin, rests upon the rendering of the LXX., which is κυριεύσει, but is otherwise unsupported.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 15:9
Verse 9. The enemy said] As this song was composed by Divine inspiration, we may rest assured that these words were spoken by Pharaoh and his captains, and the passions they describe felt, in their utmost sway, in their hearts; but how soon was their boasting confounded? "Thou didst blow with thy wind, and the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters!"
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 15:9
9. The enemy’s confidence of victory, dramatically expressed in a series of quick, abrupt sentences, describing the rapid succession of one stage after another of the expected triumphant pursuit. divide the spoil] A result of victory always looked forward to with satisfaction; cf. Judges 5:30, Isaiah 9:3; Isaiah 33:23, Psalms 68:12. My soul shall be filled with them] i.e. sated, or glutted with them. The ‘soul,’ in the psychology of the Hebrews, is the seat of desire, and especially of appetite or greed; see Deuteronomy 12:15; Deuteronomy 14:26; Deuteronomy 23:24 (‘thou mayest eat grapes thy fill according to thy soul), Isaiah 29:8; Isaiah 32:6, Psalms 17:9 (‘my greedy enemies,’ lit. ‘my enemies in soul’), Psalms 27:12 (‘give me not over unto the soul of my enemies, so Psalms 41:2), Psalms 78:18 (‘by asking food for their soul’), Proverbs 23:2 (‘a man given to appetite,’ lit. ‘the possessor of a soul’), Ecclesiastes 6:7, Isaiah 56:11 (‘greedy dogs,’ lit. ‘dogs strong of soul’). See further the Glossary in the writer’s Parallel Psalter, p. 459 f. shall dispossess them] Often used of the nations of Canaan (see on Exodus 34:24). Fig. here for root out; cf. Numbers 14:12. ‘Destroy’ is a paraphrase, which obliterates the distinctive figure of the original.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 15:9
9, 10. Third strain. Now the enemy is personified, and his boasts and threats are dramatically pictured in six terse, strong phrases, all compressed into ten nervous words, which our translation has broken up into twenty-five!
