Both horse and driver^(C)
    he has hurled into the sea.^(D)

² “The Lord is my strength^(E) and my defense^[a];
    he has become my salvation.^(F)
He is my God,^(G) and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt^(H) him.
³ The Lord is a warrior;^(I)
    the Lord is his name.^(J)
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army^(K)
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.^[b]
5 The deep waters^(L) have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.^(M)
6 Your right hand,^(N) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,^(O) Lord,
    shattered^(P) the enemy.

⁷ “In the greatness of your majesty^(Q)
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;^(R)
    it consumed^(S) them like stubble.
⁸ By the blast of your nostrils^(T)
    the waters piled up.^(U)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;^(V)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.^(W)
9 The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,^(X) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;^(Y)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,^(Z)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.^(AA)
11 Who among the gods
    is like you,^(AB) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,^(AC)
awesome in glory,^(AD)
    working wonders?^(AE)

¹² “You stretch out^(AF) your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.^(AG)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead^(AH)
    the people you have redeemed.^(AI)
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.^(AJ)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;^(AK)
    anguish^(AL) will grip the people of Philistia.^(AM)
15 The chiefs^(AN) of Edom^(AO) will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,^(AP)
the people^[c] of Canaan will melt^(AQ) away;
¹⁶     terror^(AR) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone^(AS)—
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought^[d](AT) pass by.^(AU)
17 You will bring^(AV) them in and plant^(AW) them
    on the mountain^(AX) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,^(AY)
    the sanctuary,^(AZ) Lord, your hands established.

¹⁸ “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”^(BA)

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver^(BI)
    he has hurled into the sea.”^(BJ)

² Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”^(D)
3 Our God is in heaven;^(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.^(F)
4 But their idols are silver and gold,^(G)
    made by human hands.^(H)
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,^(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
⁶ They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
⁷ They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

⁹ All you Israelites, trust^(J) in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹⁰ House of Aaron,^(K) trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹¹ You who fear him,^(L) trust in the Lord—

    He will bless his people Israel,
    he will bless the house of Aaron,
¹³ he will bless those who fear^(O) the Lord—
    small and great alike.

¹⁴ May the Lord cause you to flourish,^(P)
    both you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven^(Q) and earth.

¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the Lord,^(R)
    but the earth he has given^(S) to mankind.
¹⁷ It is not the dead^(T) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
¹⁸ it is we who extol the Lord,^(U)
    both now and forevermore.^(V)

Praise the Lord.^[a](W)
