Exodus 15:1-16 ▼

1 Then Moses sings—and the sons of Israel—this song to YHWH, and they speak, saying, “I sing to YHWH, || For triumphing He has triumphed; The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.

2 My strength and song is YAH, || And He is become my salvation: This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I exalt Him.

3 YHWH [is] a man of battle; YHWH [is] His Name.

4 Chariots of Pharaoh and his force || He has cast into the sea; And the choice of his captains || Have sunk in the Red Sea!

5 The depths cover them; They went down into the depths as a stone.

6 Your right hand, O YHWH, || Has become honorable in power; Your right hand, O YHWH, || Crushes an enemy.

7 And in the abundance of Your excellence || You throw down Your withstanders, || You send forth Your wrath—It consumes them as stubble.

8 And by the wind of Your anger || Waters have been heaped together; Flowings have stood as a heap; Depths have been congealed || In the heart of a sea.

9 The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil; My soul is filled with them; I draw out my sword; My hand destroys them—

10 You have blown with Your wind || The sea has covered them; They sank as lead in mighty waters.

11 Who [is] like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who [is] like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?

12 You have stretched out Your right hand—Earth swallows them!

13 You have led forth in Your kindness || The people whom You have redeemed. You have led on in Your strength || To Your holy habitation.

14 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain has seized inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then chiefs of Edom have been troubled; Mighty ones of Moab—Trembling seizes them! All inhabitants of Canaan have melted!

16 Terror and dread fall on them; By the greatness of Your arm || They are still as a stone, || Until Your people pass over, O YHWH; Until the people pass over || Whom You have purchased.
