The Midrash Mechilta comments that at this dangerous moment, the Jewish people were saved by the two walls of water which expressed their merit: the right hand expressed the merit of the Torah they would soon be receiving, which is a flow from above, Chesed, Kindness, the right, and the left hand the merit of prayer.
