10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,(A)
    the waters of the great deep,(B)
who made a road in the depths of the sea(C)
    so that the redeemed(D) might cross over?
11 Those the Lord has rescued(E) will return.
    They will enter Zion with singing;(F)
    everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy(G) will overtake them,
    and sorrow and sighing will flee away.(H)

12 “I, even I, am he who comforts(I) you.
    Who are you that you fear(J) mere mortals,(K)
    human beings who are but grass,(L)
13 that you forget(M) the Lord your Maker,(N)
    who stretches out the heavens(O)
    and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror(P) every day
    because of the wrath of the oppressor,
    who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?(Q)
14     The cowering prisoners will soon be set free;(R)
they will not die in their dungeon,
    nor will they lack bread.(S)
15 For I am the Lord your God,
    who stirs up the sea(T) so that its waves roar(U)
    the Lord Almighty(V) is his name.

10 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

11 Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

15 But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name.
