Significance: The Song of the Lamb declares "Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations," echoing the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32:4: "He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He." The verbal parallel between "just are Your ways" is unmistakable. In Deuteronomy, Moses sings this as a witness-song against Israel's future unfaithfulness; in Revelation, the redeemed sing it as a victory celebration of God's faithfulness vindicated through final judgment. The pairing of "song of Moses" with "song of the Lamb" in 15:3 makes both Exodus 15 and Deuteronomy 32 simultaneously active as source texts, showing that the entire Mosaic witness finds its culmination in the Lamb's triumph.
