3Adonai is a warrior—Adonai is His Name! 4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has hurled into the sea, and his chosen captains have sunk into the Sea of Reeds. The deeps cover them.

Your right hand, Adonai, dashes the enemy to pieces. 7In the greatness of Your excellency You overthrow those who resist You. You send forth Your wrath— it consumes them as stubble.
