In form the song is a victory hymn, a song sung to and about God in praise of His granting victory to His people over their foes.

The ingredients of Israelite hymns may almost always be summarized by the initials SRR:
Summons to praise,
Reasons to praise,
Recapitulation.

All three elements are present in abundance in the Song of Moses.

-Douglas Stuart, Commentary on the Book of Exodus
