Exodus 15:1–18

¹Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. ²My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is my •God, and I will glorify him; My father’s God, and I will extol him. ³Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name. ⁴Pharaoh’s chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. ⁵The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone. ⁶Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. ⁷And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble. ⁸And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. ⁹The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them. ¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters. ¹¹Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? ¹²Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. ¹³Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness. ¹⁴The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia. ¹⁵Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away. ¹⁶Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased. ¹⁷Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared. ¹⁸Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!
