The Song of Moses and Israel

11ThenH227 MosesH4872 and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sangH7891 thisH2088 songH7892 to the LordH3068, 2sayingH559: “34I will singH7891 to the LordH3068, for He is highlyH1342 exaltedH1342; 5The horseH5483 and its riderH7392 He has hurledH7411 into the seaH3220.267The LordH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2172, And He has becomeH1961 my salvationH3444; 8ThisH2088 is my GodH410, and I will praiseH5115 Him; 9My father’sH1 GodH430, and I will 10exaltH7311 Him.311The LordH3068 is a warriorH4421; 1213The LordH3068 is His nameH8034.414Pharaoh’sH6547 chariotsH4818 and his armyH2428 He has thrownH3384 into the seaH3220; And the choicestH4005 of his officersH7991 are 15drownedH2883 in the 16RedH5488 SeaH3220.5The watersH8415 coverH3680 them; 17They wentH3381 downH3381 into the depthsH4688 likeH3644 a stoneH68.618Your rightH3225 handH3225, LordH3068, is majesticH142 in powerH3581; 19Your rightH3225 handH3225, LordH3068, destroysH7492 the enemyH340.7And in the greatnessH7230 of Your 20excellenceH1347 You 21overthrowH2040 those who riseH6965 upH6965 against You; 22You sendH7971 outH7971 Your burningH2740 angerH2740, and it 23consumesH398 them like chaffH7179.824At the blastH7307 of Your nostrilsH639 the watersH4325 were piledH6192 up, 25The flowingH5140 watersH4325 stoodH5324 upH5324 likeH3644 a heapH5067; The depthsH8415 were congealedH7087 in the heartH3820 of the seaH3220.926The enemyH340 saidH559, ‘I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will 27divideH2505 the spoilsH7998; 28I shall 29be satisfiedH4390 against them; I will drawH7385 my swordH2719, my handH3027 will 30destroyH3423 them.’1031You blewH5398 with Your windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them; 32They sankH6749 like leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.1133WhoH4310 is likeH3644 You among the godsH410, LordH3068? WhoH4310 is likeH3644 You, 34majesticH142 in holinessH6944, 35AwesomeH3372 in praisesH8416, 36workingH6213 wondersH6382?1237You reachedH5186 outH5186 with Your rightH3225 handH3225, The earthH776 swallowedH1104 them.13In Your 38faithfulnessH2617 You have 39ledH5148 the peopleH5971 whomH2098 You have 40redeemedH1350; In Your strengthH5797 You have guidedH5095 them 41to Your holyH6944 habitationH5116.1442The peoplesH5971 have heardH8085, they trembleH7264; AnguishH2427 has grippedH270 the inhabitantsH3427 of PhilistiaH6429.15ThenH227 the 43chiefsH441 of EdomH112 were terrifiedH926; 44The leadersH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 gripsH270 them; 45AllH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 have despairedH4127.1646TerrorH367 and dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon them; 47By the greatnessH1419 of Your armH2220 they areH1826 motionlessH1826 as stoneH68, UntilH5704 Your peopleH5971 passH5674 overH5674, LordH3068, UntilH5704 the peopleH5971 passH5674 overH5674 whomH2098 You 48have purchasedH7069.1749You will bringH935 them and 50plantH5193 them in 51the mountainH2022 of Your inheritanceH5159, 52The placeH4349, LordH3068, which You have madeH6466 as Your dwellingH3427, 53The sanctuaryH4720, LordH136, which Your handsH3027 have establishedH3559.1854The LordH3068 shall reignH4427 foreverH5769 and everH5703.”

1955For the horsesH5483 of PharaohH6547 with his chariotsH7393 and his horsemenH6571 wentH935 into the seaH3220, and the LordH3068 broughtH7725 backH7725 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 on them, but the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 on 56dryH3004 landH3004 through the midstH8432 of the seaH3220.

2057MiriamH4813 the prophetessH5031, Aaron’sH175 sisterH269, tookH3947 the 58tambourineH8596 in her handH3027, and allH3605 the womenH802 wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 her with tambourinesH8596 and with 5960dancingH4246. 21And MiriamH4813 answeredH6030 them, “61SingH7891 to the LordH3068, for He 62is highlyH1342 exaltedH1342; The horseH5483 and his riderH7392 He has hurledH7411 into the seaH3220.”

The Lord Provides Water

2263Then MosesH4872 64ledH5265 IsraelH3478 from the 65RedH5488 SeaH3220, and they wentH3318 outH3318 into 66the wildernessH4057 of 67ShurH7793; and they wentH1980 threeH7969 daysH3117 in the wildernessH4057 and foundH4672 noH3808 waterH4325. 23When they cameH935 to 68MarahH4785, they couldH3201 not drinkH8354 the watersH4325 69of MarahH4785, becauseH3588 they were 70bitterH4751; for thatH3651 reasonH3651 it was namedH7121H8034 71MarahH4785. 24So the peopleH5971 72grumbledH3885 at MosesH4872, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 are we to drinkH8354?” 25Then he 73criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068, and the LordH3068 showedH3384 him 74a treeH6086; and he threwH7993 it into the watersH4325, and the watersH4325 becameH4985 sweetH4985.

ThereH8033 He 75madeH7760 for them a statuteH2706 and regulationH4941, and thereH8033 He 76testedH5254 them. 26And He saidH559, “77IfH518 you will listenH8085 carefullyH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, and doH6213 what is rightH3477 in His sightH5869, and listenH238 78to His commandmentsH4687, and keepH8104 allH3605 His statutesH2706, 79I will putH7760 noneH3605H3808 of the diseasesH4245 on you whichH834 I have putH7760 on the EgyptiansH4714; for I, 80the LordH3068, am your healerH7495.”

27Then they cameH935 to 81ElimH362 whereH8033 there were twelveH8147H6240 springsH5871 of waterH4325 and seventyH7657 dateH8558 palmsH8558, and they campedH2583 thereH8033 besideH5921 the watersH4325.
