Exodus

Exodus 15:14–16

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.
