1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord. They said:I will sing to the Lord,for He is highly exalted;He has thrown the horseand its rider into the sea.
2. The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise Him,my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
3. The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is His name.
4. He threw Pharaoh’s chariotsand his army into the sea;the elite of his officerswere drowned in the Red Sea.
5. The floods covered them;they sank to the depths like a stone.
6. Lord, Your right hand is glorious in power.Lord, Your right hand shattered the enemy.
7. You overthrew Your adversariesby Your great majesty.You unleashed Your burning wrath;it consumed them like stubble.
8. The waters heaped up at the blast of Your nostrils;the currents stood firm like a dam.The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
9. The enemy said:“I will pursue, I will overtake,I will divide the spoil. My desire will be gratified at their expense.I will draw my sword;my hand will destroy them.”
