In these verses, the Levites continue to praise Yahweh in the presence of the people of Israel.

And you divided the sea

Here "you" refers to God. The Levites are telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt. (See: Exodus 14:21)

divided

"ripped open" or "split open"

you...threw those who pursued them into the depths, as a stone into deep waters

In this simile, the writer describes God throwing the Egyptians into the sea as a person would throw a stone into water. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
