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.”
10. But You blew with Your breath,and the sea covered them.They sank like leadin the mighty waters.
11. Lord, who is like You among the gods?Who is like You, glorious in holiness, revered with praises, performing wonders?
12. You stretched out Your right hand,and the earth swallowed them.
13. You will lead the peopleYou have redeemedwith Your faithful love;You will guide them to Your holy dwellingwith Your strength.
14. When the peoples hear, they will shudder;anguish will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
15. Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified; trembling will seize the leaders of Moab;the inhabitants of Canaan will panic;
16. and terror and dread will fall on them.They will be as still as a stonebecause of Your powerful armuntil Your people pass by, Lord,until the people whom You purchased pass by.
17. You will bring them in and plant themon the mountain of Your possession; Lord, You have prepared the placefor Your dwelling;Lord, Your hands have established the sanctuary.
18. The Lord will reign forever and ever!
19. When Pharaoh’s horses with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
