Exodus 15:1–12

The Song of Moses

15Then 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.

^2hThe 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.

³The Lord is ^ma man of war;

ⁿthe Lord is his name.

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

and his chosen ^pofficers were sunk in the Red Sea.

⁵The ^qfloods covered them;

they ^rwent down into the depths like a stone.

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

your right hand, O Lord, ^tshatters the enemy.

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

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

⁸At 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.

⁹The 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.’

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

they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

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

Who is like you, majestic in holiness,

awesome in ^dglorious deeds, ^edoing wonders?

¹²You stretched out ^fyour right hand;

the earth swallowed them.
