1. Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the lord:“I will sing to the lord,for he has triumphed gloriously;he has hurled both horse and riderinto the sea.
2. The lord is my strength and my song;he has given me victory.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. Pharaoh’s chariots and armyhe has hurled into the sea.The finest of Pharaoh’s officersare drowned in the Red Sea.
5. The deep waters gushed over them;they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6. “Your right hand, O lord,is glorious in power.Your right hand, O lord,smashes the enemy.
7. In the greatness of your majesty,you overthrow those who rise against you.You unleash your blazing fury;it consumes them like straw.
8. At the blast of your breath,the waters piled up!The surging waters stood straight like a wall;in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.
9. “The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase themand catch up with them.I will plunder themand consume them.I will flash my sword;my powerful hand will destroy them.’
10. But you blew with your breath,and the sea covered them.They sank like leadin the mighty waters.
11. “Who is like you among the gods, O lord—glorious in holiness,awesome in splendor,performing great wonders?
12. You raised your right hand,and the earth swallowed our enemies.
13. “With your unfailing love you leadthe people you have redeemed.In your might, you guide themto your sacred home.
14. The peoples hear and tremble;anguish grips those who live in Philistia.
