The Exodus as a Promise Fulfilled

 There is a rather interesting verse in the story of the exodus:

Who is like You, O LORD, among other Gods,
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in splendor, working wonders!

The word "other Gods" seems baffling (Do note: some translate the word "elim" as celestials or "the "mighty.")

I wanted to suggest another, slightly different reading. 

Having finished the Tractate of Megillah, I noted that Yaakov, the pinnacle of the forefathers, is also referred to as an "el" (Page 18: A). He is referred to as such because of his mastery over life's circumstances, his sheer ability to grapple, maintaining his moral fiber, has elevated him over all other creatures. 

With this interpretation in mind, perhaps we can gain greater insight into the above verse. Perhaps, after all, Hashem was not comparing himself to other Gods, but rather, upon stating "ba'elim Hashem," that it was not God who stood out from the other Gods, but rather our God, whose ever-present promise to the forefathers, exemplified by Yaakov Avinu, who himself was referred to as an "El" which rung true more than anything upon God's salvation. 

That, it could be said, was the prayer, or song, that was offered up. "You Hashem who promised our "el," Yaakov Avinu, that you would free us from Egypt after 400 years of bondage, have indeed kept your promise. And moreover, your presence, Hashem, is all the more felt when we see that your promise has been kept. "Who is like you, O' Lord, dwelling amongst Jacob, our "el," who achieved mastery of himself, and whose credence in your eyes was what justified our salvation!"
