[15:1] Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, because he has won a glorious victory; he has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.
[15:2] The Lord is my strong defender; he is the one who has saved me. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will sing about his greatness.
[15:3] The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.
[15:4] “He threw Egypt's army and its chariots into the sea; the best of its officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
[15:5] The deep sea covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone.
[15:6] “Your right hand, Lord, is awesome in power; it breaks the enemy in pieces.
[15:7] In majestic triumph you overthrow your foes; your anger blazes out and burns them up like straw.
[15:8] You blew on the sea and the water piled up high; it stood up straight like a wall; the deepest part of the sea became solid.
[15:9] The enemy said, ‘I will pursue them and catch them; I will divide their wealth and take all I want; I will draw my sword and take all they have.’
[15:10] But one breath from you, Lord, and the Egyptians were drowned; they sank like lead in the terrible water.
[15:11] “Lord, who among the gods is like you? Who is like you, wonderful in holiness? Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?
[15:12] You stretched out your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies.
[15:13] Faithful to your promise, you led the people you had rescued; by your strength you guided them to your sacred land.
[15:14] The nations have heard, and they tremble with fear; the Philistines are seized with terror.
[15:15] The leaders of Edom are terrified; Moab's mighty men are trembling; the people of Canaan lose their courage.
[15:16] Terror and dread fall upon them. They see your strength, O Lord, and stand helpless with fear until your people have marched past— the people you set free from slavery.
[15:17] You bring them in and plant them on your mountain, the place that you, Lord, have chosen for your home, the Temple that you yourself have built.
[15:18] You, Lord, will be king forever and ever.”
