Exodus 15:1–18

The Song of Moses

15 Then Moses and the people of Israel fsang this song to the Lord, saying,

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

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

2  hThe Lord is my strength and my isong,

and he has become jmy salvation;

this is my God, and I will praise him,

kmy father’s God, and lI will exalt him.

3  The Lord is ma man of war;

nthe Lord is his name.

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

and his chosen pofficers were sunk in the Red Sea.

5  The qfloods covered them;

they rwent down into the depths like a stone.

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

your right hand, O Lord, tshatters the enemy.

7  In the ugreatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;

you send out your fury; it vconsumes them like stubble.

8  At the wblast of your nostrils the waters piled up;

the xfloods stood up in a heap;

the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

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

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

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

10  You ablew with your wind; the bsea covered them;

they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

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

Who is like you, majestic in holiness,

awesome in dglorious deeds, edoing wonders?

12  You stretched out fyour right hand;

the earth swallowed them.

13  “You have gled in your steadfast love the people whom hyou have redeemed;

you have iguided them by your strength to your holy abode.

14  jThe peoples have heard; they tremble;

pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15  Now are the chiefs of Edom kdismayed;

trembling seizes the leaders of lMoab;

mall the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

16  Terror and ndread fall upon them;

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

till your people, O Lord, pass by,

till the people pass by whom pyou have purchased.

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

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

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

18  sThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”
