Exodus 15:11-21

11Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?12You stretched out Your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up.13With loving devotion1 You will lead the people You have redeemed; with Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.

14The nations will hear and tremble;anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.15Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;trembling will seize the leaders of Moab;those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,16and terror and dread will fall on them.By the power of Your armthey will be as still as a stoneuntil Your people pass by, O LORD,until the people You have bought pass by.

17You will bring them in and plant themon the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling,the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

18The LORD will reign forever and ever!”

19For when Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

20Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing. 21And Miriam sang back to them:

“Sing to the LORD,for He is highly exalted;the horse and riderHe has thrown into the sea.”
