And according to our words, it is very fitting that all of Israel merited to see at the splitting of the Red Sea a clear revelation of the Divine Presence, as it says (Exodus 15:2): "This is my God, and I will glorify Him." And as it is stated in the Midrash (Shemot Rabbah, Parasha 23, Siman 15): "And those who ascended from the sea, each one would point with his finger and say: 'This is my God, and I will glorify Him.'" Simply put, they merited this because of the faith and trust they exhibited at the time of the splitting of the Red Sea. However, in light of what has been explained, the reason they merited this is because their entire intention in the song was for His blessed name alone, and they rejoiced in the exaltation of His honor and the right hand of God which performs valiantly.

And a great support for this is from the words of the Rokeach (Siman 323) who explained what we say at the end of the Amidah prayer: "Act for the sake of Your name, act for the sake of Your right hand, act for the sake of Your Torah, act for the sake of Your holiness" – that the matter and foundation of the intention of these four is, 'act for Your sake if not for ours.' And the Tur wrote (Orach Chaim, Siman 122): "Thus it is stated in the Haggadah, Shmuel said, anyone who is diligent in saying these four things merits and receives the Divine Presence: Act for the sake of Your name, act for the sake of Your right hand, act for the sake of Your Torah, act for the sake of Your holiness." And these matters are perfectly aligned.
