Exodus Chapter 15

1Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they spoke and said,

“I will sing to the Lord,

For he is highly exalted.

He has thrown horse and its rider into the sea.

2The Lord is my strength and my melody,

And he became salvation to me.

This is my God,

And I will prepare a dwelling for him

– The God of my father –

And I will extol him.

3The Lord is a man of war;

The Lord is his name.

4He cast Pharaoh's chariots and his army into the sea,

And the elite of his crews of three

Sank in the Red Sea.

5The depths covered them;

They descended into the depths like a stone.

6Your right hand, O Lord,

Has become glorious by power.

Your right hand, O Lord,

Has crushed the enemy.

7And in the wealth of your splendour

You demolished those rising up against you.

You sent your fury

Which consumed them like stubble.

8And by the breath of your nostrils

The water heaped up,

The liquid stood like a mound;

The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue;

I will catch up with them.

I will share out the spoil;

My fervour will be satisfied on them.

I will draw my sword;

My hand will disinherit them.’

10You blew with your wind;

The sea covered them.

They sank like lead

In mighty waters.

11Who is like you

Among the gods, O Lord?

Who is like you?

Glorious in holiness,

Fearfully praiseworthy,

Performing wondrously.

12You stretched out your right hand;

The earth swallowed them up.

13In your kindness you have led the people

Whom you redeemed.

You have guided them by your strength

To your holy dwelling place.

14The nations will hear about it

And will be awestruck.

Writhing has seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15Then the chieftains of Edom will be terrified;

As for the mighty ones of Moab,

Trembling will seize them.

All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

16Dread and fear will descend on them;

By the magnificence of your arm

They will be dumbfounded like a stone,

Until your people cross over, O Lord,

Until the people you have purchased cross over.

17You will bring them in and plant them

At the mountain of your inheritance,

A place established for you to dwell in,

Which you, O Lord, have made,

A sanctuary, O Lord*,

Which your hands have established.

18The Lord will reign

Age-abidingly and timelessly.

19For Pharaoh's cavalry with his chariot fleet and his riders went into the sea, but the Lord caused the water of the sea to return over them, whereas the sons of Israel went on dry land in the middle of the sea.” 20Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a drum in her hand, and all the women went out following her with drums and dancing. 21And Miriam intoned to them,

“Sing to the Lord

For he is most exalted.

He cast horse and its rider

Into the sea.”

22Then Moses moved Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out to the Desert of Shur, and they went for three days in the desert, but they did not find water. 23And they came to Marah, but they could not drink the water of Marah, for it was bitter, which is why it is called Marah. 24The people then complained about Moses, and they said, “What will we drink?” 25And he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord pointed out a piece of wood to him, which he threw into the water, and the water became freshwater. He established for them a statute and a law there, and he tested them there, 26and he said, “If you carefully obey the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and hearken to his commandments and keep all his statutes, then I will not lay on you any of the diseases which I laid on Egypt, for I am the Lord your healer.” 27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
