¹² Then his people believed his promises.
    Then they sang his praise.

“I will sing to the Lord,
    for he has triumphed gloriously;
he has hurled both horse and rider
    into the sea.
² The Lord is my strength and my song;
    he has given me victory.
This is my God, and I will praise him—
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
³ The Lord is a warrior;
    Yahweh^[a] is his name!
⁴ Pharaoh’s chariots and army
    he has hurled into the sea.
The finest of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.^[b]
5 The deep waters gushed over them;
    they sank to the bottom like a stone.

⁶ “Your right hand, O Lord,
    is glorious in power.
Your right hand, O Lord,
    smashes the enemy.
⁷ In the greatness of your majesty,
    you overthrow those who rise against you.
You unleash your blazing fury;
    it consumes them like straw.
⁸ At the blast of your breath,
    the waters piled up!
The surging waters stood straight like a wall;
    in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.

⁹ “The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase them
    and catch up with them.
I will plunder them
    and consume them.
I will flash my sword;
    my powerful hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.

¹¹ “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord—
    glorious in holiness,
awesome in splendor,
    performing great wonders?
¹² You raised your right hand,
    and the earth swallowed our enemies.

¹³ “With your unfailing love you lead
    the people you have redeemed.
In your might, you guide them
    to your sacred home.
¹⁴ The peoples hear and tremble;
    anguish grips those who live in Philistia.
¹⁵ The leaders of Edom are terrified;
    the nobles of Moab tremble.
All who live in Canaan melt away;
¹⁶     terror and dread fall upon them.
The power of your arm
    makes them lifeless as stone
until your people pass by, O Lord,
    until the people you purchased pass by.
¹⁷ You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain—
    the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling,
    the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.
¹⁸ The Lord will reign forever and ever!”

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he has triumphed gloriously;
he has hurled both horse and rider
    into the sea.”
