Exodus 15:1-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:I will sing to the Lord, for an overflowing victory!Horse and rider he threw into the sea!

2. The Lord is my strength and my power;he has become my salvation.This is my God, whom I will praise,the God of my ancestors, whom I will acclaim.

3. The Lord is a warrior;the Lord is his name.

4. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he hurled into the sea;his elite captains were sunk in the Reed Sea.

5. The deep sea covered them;they sank into the deep waters like a stone.

6. Your strong hand, Lord, is dominant in power;your strong hand, Lord, shatters the enemy!

7. With your great surge you overthrow your opponents;you send out your hot anger; it burns them up like straw.

8. With the breath of your nostrils the waters swelled up,the floods surged up in a great wave;the deep waters foamed in the depths of the sea.

9. The enemy said, "I’ll pursue, I’ll overtake,I’ll divide the spoils of war.I’ll be overfilled with them.I’ll draw my sword; my hand will destroy them."
