Exodus 15:3-15 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.

13. “You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

14. The peoples have heard; they tremble;pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

15. Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
