Exodus 15:1-10

1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord. They said: I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted; he has thrown the horse and its rider into the sea.

2The Lord is my strength and my song; 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.

4He threw Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea; the elite of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5The floods covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.

6Lord, your right hand is glorious in power. Lord, your right hand shattered the enemy.

7You overthrew your adversaries by your great majesty. You unleashed your burning wrath; it consumed them like stubble.

8The water heaped up at the blast from your nostrils; the currents stood firm like a dam. The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said: “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My desire will be gratified at their expense. I will draw my sword; my hand will destroy them.”

10But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
