And in the greatness of Your (A)excellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth (B)Your wrath;
It (C)consumed them (D)like stubble.
And (E)with the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
(F)The floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths [a]congealed in the heart of the sea.
(G)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will (H)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.

“In the greatness of your majesty(A)

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon 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.

In your great majesty you destroyed
    those who stood against you.
Your anger destroyed them,
    like fire burning straw.
The wind you sent in anger
    piled the water high.
The flowing water became a wall,
    solid to its deepest parts.

“The enemy said,
    ‘I’ll chase them and catch them.
I’ll take all their riches.
    I’ll take it all with my sword.
    I’ll take everything for myself.’
10 But you blew on them
    and covered them with the sea.
They sank like lead
    into the deep sea.
