1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:“I will sing to the Lord.He has won a glorious victory.He has thrown horses and their riders into the sea.
2. The Lord is my strength and my song.He is my Savior.This is my God, and I will praise him,my father’s God, and I will honor him.
3. The Lord is a warrior!The Lord is his name.
4. He has thrown Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the sea.Pharaoh’s best officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
5. The deep water covered them.They sank to the bottom like a rock.
6. Your right hand, O Lord, wins glory because it is strong.Your right hand, O Lord, smashes your enemies.
7. With your unlimited majesty, you destroyed those who attacked you.You sent out your burning anger.It burned them up like straw.
8. With a blast from your nostrils, the water piled up.The waves stood up like a dam.The deep water thickened in the middle of the sea.
9. “The enemy said, ‘I’ll pursue them!I’ll catch up with them!I’ll divide the loot!I’ll take all I want!I’ll use my sword!I’ll take all they have!’
10. Your breath blew the sea over them.They sank like lead in the raging water.
11. “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord?Who is like you?You are glorious because of your holinessand awe-inspiring because of your splendor.You perform miracles.
12. You stretched out your right hand.The earth swallowed them.
13. “Lovingly, you will lead the people you have saved.Powerfully, you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
14. People will hear of it and tremble.The people of Philistia will be in anguish.
15. The tribal leaders of Edom will be terrified.The powerful men of Moab will tremble.The people of Canaan will be deathly afraid.
16. Terror and dread will fall on them.Because of the power of your arm, they will be petrifieduntil your people pass by, O Lord,until the people you purchased pass by.
17. You will bring them and plant them on your own mountain,the place where you live, O Lord,the holy place that you built with your own hands, O Lord.
18. The Lord will rule as king forever and ever.”
