Exodus 15:2-9 New Century Version (NCV)

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 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,and they sank to the bottom like a rock.

6. Your right hand, Lord,is amazingly strong.Lord, your right handbroke the enemy to 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 piled up.The moving water stood like a wall;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.’
