Exodus 15:1-18

Tree of Life Version

I will sing to Adonai, for He is highly exalted!
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
² Adonai is my strength and song,
and He has become my salvation.^[b]
This is my God, and I will glorify Him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
³ Adonai is a warrior—Adonai is His Name!
⁴ Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
    He has hurled into the sea,
    and his chosen captains have sunk
        into the Sea of Reeds.
⁵ The deeps cover them.
    They sank to the depths like a stone.
⁶ Your right hand, Adonai, is glorious in power.
    Your right hand, Adonai, dashes the enemy to pieces.
⁷ In the greatness of Your excellency
    You overthrow those who resist You.
    You send forth Your wrath—
    it consumes them as stubble.
⁸ With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up.
    The floods stood upright as a heap.
    The deeps became firm ground in the heart of the sea.
⁹ The enemy said, “I will pursue,
    I will overtake, I will divide the spoil.
    My lust shall gorge on them!
    I will draw my sword—my hand will destroy them.”
¹⁰ You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them.
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
¹¹ Who is like You, Adonai, among the gods?
Who is like You,
    glorious in holiness,
    awesome in praises,
    doing wonders?^[c]
12 You stretched out Your right hand,
the earth swallowed them.
¹³ You in Your lovingkindness
led the people You have redeemed.
You guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
¹⁴ When the peoples hear, they will tremble—
    anguish will seize
    the inhabitants of Philistia.
¹⁵ Then the chiefs of Edom are terrified.
Trembling grips Moab’s mighty men.
All of Canaan’s inhabitants will melt away.
¹⁶ Terror and dread will fall on them.
By the greatness of Your arm they become still as a stone,
till Your people cross over, Adonai,
till the people whom You purchased cross over.
¹⁷ You bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance,
    the place, Adonai, that You have made
        for Yourself to dwell in—
    the Sanctuary, Adonai,
        which Your hands have prepared.
¹⁸ Adonai will reign forever and ever!
