Exodus 15:1-12

New Living Translation

“I will sing to the Lord,
    for he has triumphed gloriously;
he has hurled both horse and rider
    into the sea.
² The Lord is my strength and my song;
    he has given me victory.
This is my God, and I will praise him—
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
³ The Lord is a warrior;
    Yahweh^[a] is his name!
⁴ Pharaoh’s chariots and army
    he has hurled into the sea.
The finest of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.^[b]
5 The deep waters gushed over them;
    they sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁶ “Your right hand, O Lord,
    is glorious in power.
Your right hand, O Lord,
    smashes the enemy.
⁷ In the greatness of your majesty,
    you overthrow those who rise against you.
You unleash your blazing fury;
    it consumes them like straw.
⁸ At the blast of your breath,
    the waters piled up!
The surging waters stood straight like a wall;
    in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.

⁹ “The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase them
    and catch up with them.
I will plunder them
    and consume them.
I will flash my sword;
    my powerful hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.

¹¹ “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord—
    glorious in holiness,
awesome in splendor,
    performing great wonders?
¹² You raised your right hand,
    and the earth swallowed our enemies.
