Exodus 15:1–18

1 Then Moses and the people of Israel hsang this song to the Lord, saying,

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;

the horse and his rider1 he has thrown into the sea.

2  iThe Lord is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation;

jthis is my God, and I will praise him,

my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3  The Lord is a kman of war;

lthe Lord is his name.

4  m“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,

and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.

5  The floods covered them;

they went down into the depths nlike a stone.

6  Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,

your right hand, O Lord, oshatters the enemy.

7  In the greatness of your pmajesty you overthrow your adversaries;

you send out your fury; qit consumes them like stubble.

8  rAt the sblast of your nostrils the waters piled up;

the floods stood up in a theap;

the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

9  The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,

I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.

I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’

10  You blew with your wind; uthe sea covered them;

they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11  v“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like you, wmajestic in holiness,

awesome in glorious deeds, doing xwonders?

12  You stretched out your right hand;

the earth swallowed them.

13  “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have yredeemed;

zyou have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

14  aThe peoples have heard; they tremble;

pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15  Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;

btrembling seizes the leaders of Moab;

call the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

16  Terror and dread fall upon them;

because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,

till your people, O Lord, pass by,

till the people pass by whom you have dpurchased.

17  You will bring them in and eplant them on your own mountain,

the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,

the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.

18  fThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”
