Exodus 15:1–12

¹Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,

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

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

²The Lord is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation;

this is my God, and I will praise him,

my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

³The Lord is a man of war;

the Lord is his name.

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

and his picked officers are sunk in the Red Sea.

⁵The floods cover them;

they went down into the depths like a stone.

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

thy right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.

⁷In the greatness of thy majesty thou overthrowest thy adversaries;

thou sendest forth thy fury, it consumes them like stubble.

⁸At the blast of thy nostrils the waters piled up,

the floods stood up in a heap;

the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

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

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

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

¹⁰Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them;

they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

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

Who is like thee, majestic in holiness,

terrible in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

¹²Thou didst stretch out thy right hand,

the earth swallowed them.
