Exodus 15:1-19

1Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, singing, “I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously; The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.

2The Lord is my strength and my song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

3The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name.

4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; His chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.

5The deep [water] covers them; [Clad in armor] they sank into the depths like a stone.

6Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.

7In the greatness of Your majesty You overthrow and annihilate those [adversaries] who rise [in rebellion] against You; You send out Your fury, and it consumes them like chaff.

8With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up, The flowing waters stood up like a mound; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied against them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall dispossess them and drive them out.’

10You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; [Clad in armor] they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendor, working wonders?

12You stretched out Your right hand, The sea swallowed them.

13You in Your lovingkindness and goodness have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them with care to Your holy habitation.

14The peoples have heard [about You], they tremble; Anguish and fear has gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.

15Then the [tribal] chiefs of Edom were dismayed and horrified; The [mighty] leaders of Moab, trembling grips them; All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away [in despair]—

16Terror and dread fall on them; Because of the greatness of Your arm they are as still as a stone; Until Your people pass by and [into Canaan], O Lord, Until the people pass by whom You have purchased.

17You will bring them [into the land of promise] and plant them on the mountain (Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem) of Your inheritance, The place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling [among them], The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

18The Lord shall reign to eternity and beyond.”

19For the horses of Pharaoh went with his war-chariots and his charioteers into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.
