Exodus 15:1-19

1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord. They said, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously, the horse and its 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 warrior, the Lord is his name.

4The chariots of Pharaoh and his army he has thrown into the sea, and his chosen officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5The depths have covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone.

6Your right hand, O Lord, was majestic in power, your right hand, O Lord, shattered the enemy.

7In the abundance of your majesty you have overthrown those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath; it consumed them like stubble.

8By the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up, the flowing water stood upright like a heap, and the deep waters were solidified in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, ‘I will chase, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire will be satisfied on them. 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.

11Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you? – majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?

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

13By your loyal love you will lead the people whom you have redeemed; you will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling place.

14The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.

15Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified, trembling will seize the leaders of Moab, and the inhabitants of Canaan will shake.

16Fear and dread will fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they will be as still as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people whom you have bought pass by.

17You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place you made for your residence, O Lord, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.

18The Lord will reign forever and ever!

19For the horses of Pharaoh came with his chariots and his footmen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the Israelites walked on dry land in the middle of the sea.”
