Exodus 15:1-16 ▼

1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.

2 The LORD is my strength and song, And He is become my salvation; This is my God, and I will glorify Him; My father's God, and I will exalt Him.

3 The LORD is a man of war, The LORD is His name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea, And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

5 The deeps cover them-- They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Thy right hand, O LORD, dasheth in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou overthrowest them that rise up against Thee; Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.

8 And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were piled up-- The floods stood upright as a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'

10 Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the mighty? Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12 Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand-- The earth swallowed them.

13 Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation.

14 The peoples have heard, they tremble; Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted; The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them; All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

16 Terror and dread falleth upon them; By the greatness of Thine arm they are as still as a stone; Till Thy people pass over, O LORD, Till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten.
