Exodus 15:1-8 New International Version (NIV)

1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.

2. “The Lord is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.

4. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

5. The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.

6. Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.

7. “In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.

8. By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
