Exodus 15:1–18

¹Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:

“I will sing to the LORD,

for He is highly exalted.

The horse and rider

He has thrown into the sea.

²The LORD is my strength and my song,

and He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him,

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

³The LORD is a warrior,

the LORD is His name.

⁴Pharaoh’s chariots and army

He has cast into the sea;

the finest of his officers

are drowned in the Red Sea.^a

⁵The depths have covered them;

they sank there like a stone.

⁶Your right hand, O LORD,

is majestic in power;

Your right hand, O LORD,

has shattered the enemy.

⁷You overthrew Your adversaries

by Your great majesty.

You unleashed Your burning wrath;

it consumed them like stubble.

⁸At the blast of Your nostrils

the waters piled up;

like a wall the currents stood firm;

the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹The enemy declared,

‘I will pursue, I will overtake.

I will divide the spoils;

I will gorge myself on them.

I will draw my sword;

my hand will destroy them.’

¹⁰But You blew with Your breath,

and the sea covered them.

They sank like lead

in the mighty waters.

¹¹Who among the gods is like You, O LORD?

Who is like You — majestic in holiness,

revered with praises,

performing wonders?

¹²You stretched out Your right hand,

and the earth swallowed them up.

¹³With loving devotion^b You will lead

the people You have redeemed;

with Your strength You will guide them

to Your holy dwelling.

¹⁴The nations will hear and tremble;

anguish will grip the dwellers of Philistia.

¹⁵Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;

trembling will seize the leaders of Moab;

those who dwell in Canaan will melt away,

¹⁶and terror and dread will fall on them.

By the power of Your arm

they will be as still as a stone

until Your people pass by, O LORD,

until the people You have bought pass by.

¹⁷You will bring them in and plant them

on the mountain of Your inheritance —

the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling,

the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

¹⁸The LORD will reign forever and ever!”
