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?
12. You stretched out your right-hand,and the earth swallowed our enemies.
13. Faithful to your promise, you led the people you had rescued;by your strength you guided them to your sacred land.
14. The nations have heard, and they tremble with fear;the Philistines are seized with terror.
15. The leaders of Edom are terrified;Moab's mighty men are trembling;the people of Canaan lose their courage.
16. Terror and dread fall upon them.They see your strength, O Lord,and stand helpless with fearuntil your people have marched past —the people you set free from slavery.
17. You bring them in and plant them on your mountain,the place that you, Lord, have chosen for your home,the Temple that you yourself have built.
18. You, Lord, will be king for ever and ever.”
19. The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. But when the Egyptian chariots with their horses and drivers went into the sea, the Lord brought the water back, and it covered them.
