Exodus 15:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ 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.
⁹ 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.’
¹⁰ Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them;
    they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
