*
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD ,
saying , "
I will sing to the LORD ,
for he has triumphed gloriously ;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea .
*
The LORD is my strength and my song ,
and he has become my salvation ;
this is my God ,
and I will praise him ,
my father '
s God ,
and I will exalt him .
*
The LORD is a man of war ;
the LORD is his name .
* "
Pharaoh '
s chariots and his host he cast into the sea ;
and his picked officers are sunk in the Red Sea .
*
The floods cover them ;
they went down into the depths like a stone .
*
Thy right hand ,
O LORD ,
glorious in power ,
thy right hand ,
O LORD ,
shatters the enemy .
*
In the greatness of thy majesty thou overthrowest thy adversaries ;
thou sendest forth thy fury ,
it consumes them like stubble .
*
At the blast of thy nostrils the waters piled up ,
the floods stood up in a heap ;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea .
*
The enemy said , `
I will pursue ,
I will overtake ,
I will divide the spoil ,
my desire shall have its fill of them .
I will draw my sword ,
my hand shall destroy them .'
*
Thou didst blow with thy wind ,
the sea covered them ;
they sank as lead in the mighty waters .
* "
Who is like thee ,
O LORD ,
among the gods ?
Who is like thee ,
majestic in holiness ,
terrible in glorious deeds ,
doing wonders ?
*
Thou didst stretch out thy right hand ,
the earth swallowed them .
* "
Thou hast led in thy steadfast love the people whom thou hast redeemed ,
thou hast guided them by thy strength to thy holy abode .
*
The peoples have heard ,
they tremble ;
pangs have seized on the inhabitants of Philistia .
*
Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed ;
the leaders of Moab ,
trembling seizes them ;
all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away .
*
Terror and dread fall upon them ;
because of the greatness of thy arm ,
they are as still as a stone ,
till thy people ,
O LORD ,
pass by ,
till the people pass by whom thou hast purchased .
*
Thou wilt bring them in ,
and plant them on thy own mountain ,
the place ,
O LORD ,
which thou hast made for thy abode ,
the sanctuary ,
O LORD ,
which thy hands have established .
*
The LORD will reign for ever and ever ."
*
For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea ,
the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them ;
but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea .
*
Then Miriam ,
the prophetess ,
the sister of Aaron ,
took a timbrel in her hand ;
and all the women went out after her with timbrels and dancing .
*
And Miriam sang to them : "
Sing to the LORD ,
for he has triumphed gloriously ;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea ."
