Exodus 15:9-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

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.

16. Terror and dread fall upon them;because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,till your people, O Lord, pass by,till the people pass by whom you have purchased.

17. You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.

18. The Lord will reign forever and ever.”

19. For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
