Exodus

Exodus 15:16–17

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.
