Exodus 15:1-19
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[1] Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and said, "I will sing to Yahweh, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. [2] Yah is my strength and 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] Yahweh is a man of war. Yahweh is his name. [4] Pharaoh's chariots and his host has he cast into the sea; His chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. [5] The deeps cover them. They went down into the depths like a stone. [6] Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in power, Your right hand, Yahweh, dashes the enemy in pieces. [7] In the greatness of your excellency, you overthrow those who rise up against you: You send forth your wrath. It consumes them as stubble. [8] With the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. [9] The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.' [10] You blew with your wind. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. [11] Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? [12] You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them. [13] "You, in your loving kindness, have led the people that you have redeemed. You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation. [14] The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. [15] Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed. Trembling takes hold of the mighty men of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. [16] Terror and dread falls on them. By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone; Until your people pass over, Yahweh, Until the people pass over who you have purchased. [17] You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, The place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; The sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established. [18] Yahweh shall reign forever and ever." [19] For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
