Exodus 15:4–13

⁴“^aPharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;

And the choicest of his officers are sunk in the ¹Red Sea.

⁵“The deeps cover them;

^aThey went down into the depths like a stone.

⁶“^aYour right hand, O Yahweh, is majestic in power,

^bYour right hand, O Yahweh, shatters the enemy.

⁷“And in the greatness of Your ¹exaltation You ^apull down those who rise up against You;

^bYou send forth Your burning anger, and it ^cdevours them as chaff.

⁸“^aAnd at the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up,

^bThe flowing waters stood up like a heap;

The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹“^aThe enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will ^bdivide the spoil;

My ¹desire shall be fulfilled against them;

I will draw out my sword, my hand will dispossess them.’

¹⁰“^aYou blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;

^bThey sank like lead in the ¹mighty waters.

¹¹“^aWho is like You among the gods, O Yahweh?

Who is like You, ^bmajestic in holiness,

^cFearsome in praises, ^dworking wonders?

¹²“^aYou stretched out Your right hand,

The earth swallowed them.

¹³“In Your lovingkindness You have ^aguided the people whom You have ^bredeemed;

In Your strength You have led them ^cto Your holy habitation.
