3Yhwh is a man of war: Yhwh is his name. 4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 6Thy right hand, O Yhwh, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Yhwh, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
