Just a blast of your breath,
    and the waters were blown back.
The moving water stood up like a wall.
    And the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea.

“The enemy bragged,
    ‘I’ll chase them and catch them.
I’ll take all their riches.
    I’ll take all I want.
I’ll pull out my sword,
    and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew on them with your breath
    and covered them with the sea.
They sank like lead
    in the powerful water.

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.
