Exodus 15:1-18

1Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, "I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his 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 man of war; the Lord is his name.

4"Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea, and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.

5The floods covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.

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

7In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.

8At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.'

10You blew with your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11"Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

12You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them.

13"You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

14The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

16Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O Lord, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased.

17You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.

18The Lord will reign forever and ever."
