Quick answer
Then Israel believed God's words and sang His praise. It matters because witnessing salvation rightly produces faith and worship.
Overview
After the deliverance at the sea, Israel trusted God and sang the song of Moses (Exodus 14:31; 15:1). Their faith and praise were the fitting response to His mighty act. Yet, as the next verse shows, such faith proved short-lived, exposing the frailty of human devotion.
