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.
15. The leaders of Edom are terrified;the nobles of Moab tremble.All who live in Canaan melt away;
16. terror and dread fall upon them.The power of your armmakes them lifeless as stoneuntil your people pass by, O lord,until the people you purchased pass by.
17. You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain—the place, O lord, reserved for your own dwelling,the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.
18. The lord will reign forever and ever!”
