¹⁴ For while gentle silence enveloped all things,
and night in its swift course was now half gone,
¹⁵ thy all-powerful word leaped from heaven, from the royal throne,
into the midst of the land that was doomed,
a stern warrior ¹⁶ carrying the sharp sword of thy authentic command,
and stood and filled all things with death,
and touched heaven while standing on the earth.

⁶ For the whole creation in its nature was fashioned anew,
complying with thy commands,
that thy children^[a] might be kept unharmed.
⁷ The cloud was seen overshadowing the camp,
and dry land emerging where water had stood before,
an unhindered way out of the Red Sea,
and a grassy plain out of the raging waves,
⁸ where those protected by thy hand passed through as one nation,
after gazing on marvelous wonders.
⁹ For they ranged like horses,
and leaped like lambs,
praising thee, O Lord, who didst deliver them.
