The Song of Moses

1 Then Moses and the people of Israel ^asang this song to the Lord, saying,

^b“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider ^{▼▼Or its chariot; also verse 21} he has thrown into the sea.
2 ^dThe Lord is my strength and my ^esong,
and he has become ^fmy salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
^gmy father’s God, and ^hI will exalt him.
3 The Lord is ⁱa man of war;
^jthe Lord is his name.
4 ^k“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen ^lofficers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The ^mfloods covered them;
they ⁿwent down into the depths like a stone.
6 ^oYour right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, ^pshatters the enemy.
7 In the ^qgreatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it ^rconsumes them like stubble.
8 At the ^sblast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the ^tfloods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, ^u‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I ^vwill divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You ^wblew with your wind; the ^xsea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 ^y“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in ^zglorious deeds, ^aadoing wonders?
12 You stretched out ^abyour right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have ^acled in your steadfast love the people whom ^adyou have redeemed;
you have ^aeguided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 ^afThe peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom ^agdismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of ^ahMoab;
^aiall the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and ^ajdread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still ^akas a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom ^alyou have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and ^amplant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
^anthe sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 ^aoThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”

19 For when ^apthe horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, ^aqthe Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. 20 Then ^arMiriam ^asthe prophetess, the ^atsister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and ^auall the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. 21 And Miriam sang to them:

^av“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”
