Exodus 15:4–13

⁴“He threw Egypt’s army and its chariots into the sea;

the best of its officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

⁵The deep sea covered them;

they sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁶“Your right hand, Lord, is awesome in power;

it breaks the enemy in pieces.

⁷In majestic triumph you overthrow your foes;

your anger blazes out and burns them up like straw.

⁸You blew on the sea and the water piled up high;

it stood up straight like a wall;

the deepest part of the sea became solid.

⁹The enemy said, ‘I will pursue them and catch them;

I will divide their wealth and take all I want;

I will draw my sword and take all they have.’

¹⁰But one breath from you, Lord, and the Egyptians were drowned;

they sank like lead in the terrible water.

¹¹“Lord, who among the gods is like you?

Who is like you, wonderful in holiness?

Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?

¹²You stretched out your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies.

¹³Faithful to your promise, you led the people you had rescued;

by your strength you guided them to your sacred land.
