⁸ Was it in anger, Lord, that you struck the rivers
    and parted the sea?
Were you displeased with them?
    No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!

¹⁷ Surrounded by unnumbered thousands of chariots,
    the Lord came from Mount Sinai into his sanctuary.

⁵ What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?
    What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

¹⁰ Mounted on a mighty angelic being,^[a] he flew,
    soaring on the wings of the wind.

¹⁵ You trampled the sea with your horses,
    and the mighty waters piled high.

² Why was no one there when I came?
    Why didn’t anyone answer when I called?
Is it because I have no power to rescue?
    No, that is not the reason!
For I can speak to the sea and make it dry up!
    I can turn rivers into deserts covered with dying fish.

Look! The Lord is advancing against Egypt,
    riding on a swift cloud.
The idols of Egypt tremble.
    The hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.

³ The Red Sea^[a] saw them coming and hurried out of their way!
    The water of the Jordan River turned away.

³     you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.
You make the clouds your chariot;
    you ride upon the wings of the wind.

⁴ Sing praises to God and to his name!
    Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds.^[a]
His name is the Lord—
    rejoice in his presence!
