Exodus 15:3-14 Good News Bible (GNB)

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.

11. “Lord, who among the gods is like you?Who is like you, wonderful in holiness?Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?

14. The nations have heard, and they tremble with fear;the Philistines are seized with terror.
