1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:“I will sing to the Lord, because he has won a glorious victory;he has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
2. The Lord is my strong defender;he is the one who has saved me.He is my God, and I will praise him,my father's God, and I will sing about his greatness.
3. The Lord is a warrior;the Lord is his name.
4. “He threw Egypt's army and its chariots into the sea;the best of its officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
5. The deep sea covered them;they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6. “Your right-hand, Lord, is awesome in power;it breaks the enemy in pieces.
7. In majestic triumph you overthrow your foes;your anger blazes out and burns them up like straw.
8. You blew on the sea and the water piled up high;it stood up straight like a wall;the deepest part of the sea became solid.
9. The enemy said, ‘I will pursue them and catch them;I will divide their wealth and take all I want;I will draw my sword and take all they have.’
10. But one breath from you, Lord, and the Egyptians were drowned;they sank like lead in the terrible water.
