Exodus 15:1-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: "Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.

2. The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.

3. The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.

4. The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.

5. The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.

6. Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.

7. And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.

8. And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.

9. The enemy said: 'I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.'
