Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone; Until your people pass over, Yahweh, Until the people pass over who you have purchased.

A Prophecy Fulfilled

Commentators note this verse is not just a song but a prophecy. The 'terror and dread' that made enemies 'still as a stone' was fulfilled during Israel's 40 years in the wilderness and their eventual crossing of the Jordan. God's power had a lasting, paralyzing effect on those who would oppose His people, securing their journey.
