Exodus 14:13-15:21
English Standard Version
13 And Moses said to the people, (A)“Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For (B)the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14 (C)The Lord will fight for you, and you have only (D)to be silent.”
15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16 (E)Lift up your staff, and (F)stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. 17 And (G)I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and (H)I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians (I)shall know that I am the Lord, (J)when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
19 (K)Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night[a] without one coming near the other all night.
21 Then Moses (L)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by (M)a strong east wind all night and (N)made the sea dry land, and the waters were (O)divided. 22 And (P)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being (Q)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging[b] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (R)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, (S)“Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27 (T)So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea (U)returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord (V)threw[c] the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The (W)waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, (X)not one of them remained. 29 But the (Y)people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Thus the Lord (Z)saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 (AA)Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they (AB)believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
The Song of Moses
15 Then Moses and the people of Israel (AC)sang this song to the Lord, saying,
(AD)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider[d] he has thrown into the sea.
2 (AE)The Lord is my strength and my (AF)song,
and he has become (AG)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
(AH)my father's God, and (AI)I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is (AJ)a man of war;
(AK)the Lord is his name.
4 (AL)“Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen (AM)officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The (AN)floods covered them;
they (AO)went down into the depths like a stone.
6 (AP)Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, (AQ)shatters the enemy.
7 In the (AR)greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it (AS)consumes them like stubble.
8 At the (AT)blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the (AU)floods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, (AV)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I (AW)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You (AX)blew with your wind; the (AY)sea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 (AZ)“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in (BA)glorious deeds, (BB)doing wonders?
12 You stretched out (BC)your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have (BD)led in your steadfast love the people whom (BE)you have redeemed;
you have (BF)guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 (BG)The peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom (BH)dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of (BI)Moab;
(BJ)all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and (BK)dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still (BL)as a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom (BM)you have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and (BN)plant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
(BO)the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 (BP)The Lord will reign forever and ever.”
19 For when (BQ)the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, (BR)the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. 20 Then (BS)Miriam (BT)the prophetess, the (BU)sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and (BV)all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. 21 And Miriam sang to them:
(BW)“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

(B)Where is he who brought them up out of the sea

So you led your people,

Prayer for Mercy
15 (G)Look down from heaven and see,
(H)from your holy and beautiful[b] habitation.
Where are (I)your zeal and your might?
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
are held back from me.

though Abraham does not know us,
and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
(K)our Redeemer from of old is your name.
