Exodus 15:1–18

¹Then singeth Moses and the sons of Israel this song to Jehovah, and they speak, saying:—‘I sing to Jehovah, For triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath thrown into the sea. ²My strength and song is JAH, And He is become my salvation: This is my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him. ³Jehovah is a man of battle; Jehovah is His name. ⁴Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He hath cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk in the Red Sea! ⁵The depths do cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone. ⁶Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Is become honourable in power; Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Doth crush an enemy. ⁷And in the abundance of Thine excellency Thou throwest down Thy withstanders, Thou sendest forth Thy wrath—It consumeth them as stubble. ⁸And by the spirit of Thine anger Have waters been heaped together; Stood as a heap have flowings; Congealed have been depths In the heart of a sea. ⁹The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; Filled is my soul with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroyeth them:— ¹⁰Thou hast blown with Thy wind The sea hath covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters. ¹¹Who is like Thee among the gods, O Jehovah? Who is like Thee—honourable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders? ¹²Thou hast stretched out Thy right hand—Earth swalloweth them! ¹³Thou hast led forth in Thy kindness The people whom Thou hast redeemed. Thou hast led on in Thy strength Unto Thy holy habitation. ¹⁴Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain hath seized inhabitants of Philistia. ¹⁵Then have chiefs of Edom been troubled: Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling doth seize them! Melted have all inhabitants of Canaan! ¹⁶Fall on them doth terror and dread; By the greatness of Thine arm They are still as a stone, Till Thy people pass over, O Jehovah; Till the people pass over Whom Thou hast purchased. ¹⁷Thou dost bring them in, And dost plant them In a mountain of Thine inheritance, A fixed place for Thy dwelling Thou hast made, O Jehovah; A sanctuary, O Lord, Thy hands have established; ¹⁸Jehovah reigneth—to the age, and for ever!’
