New King James Version

Exodus 15:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:“I will sing to the Lord,For He has triumphed gloriously!The horse and its riderHe has thrown into the sea!

2. The Lord is my strength and song,And 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 man of war;The Lord is His name.

4. Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

5. The depths have covered them;They sank to the bottom like a stone.

6. “Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

7. And in the greatness of Your excellenceYou have overthrown those who rose against You;You sent forth Your wrath;It consumed them like stubble.

8. And with the blast of Your nostrilsThe waters were gathered together;The floods stood upright like a heap;The depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

9. The enemy said, ‘I will pursue,I will overtake,I will divide the spoil;My desire shall be satisfied on them.I will draw my sword,My hand shall destroy them.’
