The Song of Moses

15:1 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;

the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. 2

The Lord is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation;

this 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 host he cast into the sea,

and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea. 5

The floods covered them;

they went down into the depths like a stone. 6

Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,

your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. 7

In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;

you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble. 8

At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;

the floods stood up in a heap;

the deeps 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 have its fill of 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, majestic in holiness,

awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? 12

You stretched out your right hand;

the earth swallowed them.
13

“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;

you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode. 14

The peoples have heard; they tremble;

pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia. 15

Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;

trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;

all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away. 16

Terror and dread fall upon them;

because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,

till your people, O Lord, pass by,

till the people pass by whom you have purchased. 17

You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,

the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,

the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. 18

The Lord will reign forever and ever.”
