Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Thy way is in the sea describes God's own action at the Red Sea when He delivered Israel from Egypt and led His people through the sea. He parted the waters so that Israel crossed on dry ground with the waters standing on either side. The pillar of fire lit the road across the sea for their passage.
He guided His people safely through like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. When Moses stretched out his rod the waters rushed together and overwhelmed the Egyptian army, so that God both saved His people and overthrew the Egyptians, and the deliverance was His work. His path in the great waters and His footsteps were beyond human knowledge and unseen.
At the Red Sea Israel faced what appeared to be an impassable barrier, showing that God's way is unlike the course people would choose. The verse therefore calls God's people to trust and follow His direction even when they cannot see how He will lead them.
