Exodus 15:1-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

2. The Lord is my strength and my song,and he has become my salvation;this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3. The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name.

4. “Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.

5. The floods covered them;they went down into the depths like a stone.

6. Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.

7. In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.

8. At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;the floods stood up in a heap;the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

9. The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’

10. You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11. “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?Who is like you, majestic in holiness,awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

12. You stretched out your right hand;the earth swallowed them.
