1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:“I will sing to the Lordbecause he is worthy of great honor.He has thrown the horse and its riderinto the sea.
2. The Lord gives me strength and makes me sing.He has saved me.He is my God,and I will praise him.He is the God of my ancestors,and I will honor him.
3. The Lord is a great warrior.The Lord is his name.
4. The chariots and soldiers of the king of Egypthe has thrown into the sea.The king’s best officersare drowned in the Red Sea.
5. The deep waters covered them.They sank to the bottom like a rock.
6. Your right hand, Lord,is amazingly strong.Lord, your right handbroke the enemy into pieces.
7. In your great victoryyou destroyed those who were against you.Your anger destroyed them,like fire burning straw.
8. Just a blast of your breath,and the waters were blown back.The moving water stood up like a wall.And the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea.
9. “The enemy bragged,‘I’ll chase them and catch them.I’ll take all their riches.I’ll take all I want.I’ll pull out my sword,and my hand will destroy them.’
10. But you blew on them with your breathand covered them with the sea.They sank like leadin the powerful water.
11. “Are there any gods like you, Lord?No! There are no gods like you.You are wonderfully holy.You are amazingly powerful.You do great miracles.
12. You reached out with your right hand,and the earth swallowed our enemies.
13. You keep your loving promise.You lead the people you have saved.With your strength you will guide themto your holy land.
