˱they˲_/are/_singing the song ˱of˲_Moses the slave ¬the ˱of˲_God and the song ˱of˲_the Lamb
This could mean implicitly: (1) that these victorious believers sing one song. Alternate translation: “they sing a song that Moses, the servant of God, sang and that the Lamb now sings” (2) that these victorious believers sing two songs. Alternate translation: “they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and they also sing the song of the Lamb”

μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ τὰ ἔργα σου

δίκαιαι καὶ ἀληθιναὶ αἱ ὁδοί σου
righteous and true_‹are› the ways ˱of˲_you

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
αἱ ὁδοί σου
the ways ˱of˲_you
The victorious believers are singing about God’s actions as if they were ways or paths that God was walking on. Alternate translation: “are your actions”

Some ancient manuscripts read King of the Ages. ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “King of the Nations.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.
15:3 The Lord God, the Almighty (see also 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 16:7; 19:6; 21:22): For persecuted Christians, the message that God is all-powerful provides great comfort and security.
• The truth that God is also just and true is the foundation of human integrity in the midst of a confused, unjust, and dishonest world.
• God is the supreme, universal King of the nations, not a localized deity attached to one nation or to a human monarch with limited authority.
