1 Then Moses and the people of Israel fsang this song to the Lord, saying,
g“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider1 he has thrown into the sea.
2 hThe Lord is my strength and my isong,
and he has become jmy salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
kmy father’s God, and lI will exalt him.
3 The Lord is ma man of war;
nthe Lord is his name.
4 o“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen pofficers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The qfloods covered them;
they rwent down into the depths like a stone.
6 sYour right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, tshatters the enemy.
7 In the ugreatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it vconsumes them like stubble.
8 At the wblast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the xfloods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, y‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I zwill divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You ablew with your wind; the bsea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 c“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in dglorious deeds, edoing wonders?
12 You stretched out fyour right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have gled in your steadfast love the people whom hyou have redeemed;
you have iguided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 jThe peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom kdismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of lMoab;
mall the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and ndread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still oas a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom pyou have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and qplant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
rthe sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 sThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”
