New King James Version

Exodus 15:4-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.’

10. You blew with Your wind,The sea covered them;They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11. “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods?Who is like You, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12. You stretched out Your right hand;The earth swallowed them.

13. You in Your mercy have led forthThe people whom You have redeemed;You have guided them in Your strengthTo Your holy habitation.

14. “The people will hear and be afraid;Sorrow will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

15. Then the chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;The mighty men of Moab,Trembling will take hold of them;All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

16. Fear and dread will fall on them;By the greatness of Your armThey will be as still as a stone,Till Your people pass over, O Lord,Till the people pass overWhom You have purchased.
