Exodus 15:2-13

2The Lord is my strength and my song. He is my Savior. This is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will honor him.

3The Lord is a warrior! The Lord is his name.

4He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the sea. Pharaoh’s best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5The deep water covered them. They sank to the bottom like a rock.

6Your right hand, O Lord, wins glory because it is strong. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes your enemies.

7With your unlimited majesty, you destroyed those who attacked you. You sent out your burning anger. It burned them up like straw.

8With a blast from your nostrils, the water piled up. The waves stood up like a dam. The deep water thickened in the middle of the sea.

9“The enemy said, ‘I’ll pursue them! I’ll catch up with them! I’ll divide the loot! I’ll take all I want! I’ll use my sword! I’ll take all they have!’

10Your breath blew the sea over them. They sank like lead in the raging water.

11“Who is like you among the gods, O Lord? Who is like you? You are glorious because of your holiness and awe-inspiring because of your splendor. You perform miracles.

12You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

13“Lovingly, you will lead the people you have saved. Powerfully, you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
