Exodus 15:4–13

⁴He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army

into the Red Sea.

Pharaoh’s best officers

drowned in the sea.

⁵The deep waters covered them.

They sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁶“Lord, your right hand

was majestic and powerful.

Lord, your right hand

destroyed your enemies.

⁷Because of your great majesty,

you threw down those who opposed you.

Your burning anger blazed out.

It burned them up like straw.

⁸The powerful blast from your nose

piled up the waters.

The rushing waters stood firm like a wall.

The deep waters stood up in the middle of the sea.

⁹“Your enemies bragged,

‘We will chase Israel. We will catch them.

We’ll divide up what we take from them.

We’ll eat them alive.

We’ll pull our swords out.

Our powerful hands will destroy them.’

¹⁰But you blew with your breath.

The Red Sea covered your enemies.

They sank like lead

in the mighty waters.

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

Who is like you?

You are majestic and holy.

Your glory fills me with wonder.

You do wonderful miracles.

¹²You reached out your right hand.

The earth swallowed up the Egyptians.

¹³“Because your love is faithful,

you will lead the people you have set free.

Because you are so strong,

you will guide them to the holy place where you live.
