aThen Moses
and the sons
of Israel
sang
this
song
to the LORD
, 1and said
, " 2 bI will sing
to the LORD
, for He 3is highly
exalted
; cThe horse
and its rider
He has hurled
into the sea
.
" 1 aThe LORD is my strength
and song
, And He has become
my salvation
; bThis
is my God
, and I will praise
Him; cMy father's
God
, and I will dextol
Him.
" aThe LORD is a warrior
; 1 bThe LORD
is His name
.
" aPharaoh's chariots
and his army
He has cast
into the sea
; And the choicest
of his officers
are 1drowned
in the 2Red
Sea
.
"The deeps cover
them; aThey went
down
into the depths
like
a stone
.
" aYour right hand
, O LORD
, is majestic
in power
, bYour right
hand
, O LORD
, shatters
the enemy
.
"And in the greatness of Your 1excellence
You aoverthrow
those who rise
up against You; bYou send
forth Your burning
anger
, and it cconsumes
them as chaff
.
" aAt the blast of Your nostrils
the waters
were piled
up, bThe flowing
waters
stood
up like
a heap
; The deeps
were congealed
in the heart
of the sea
.
" aThe enemy said
, `I will pursue
, I will overtake
, I will bdivide
the spoil
; My 1desire
shall be 2gratified
against them; I will draw
out my sword
, my hand
will 3destroy
them.'
" aYou blew with Your wind
, the sea
covered
them; bThey sank
like lead
in the 1mighty
waters
.
" aWho is like
You among the gods
, O LORD
? Who
is like
You, bmajestic
in holiness
, cAwesome
in praises
, dworking
wonders
?
" aYou stretched out Your right
hand
, The earth
swallowed
them.
"In Your lovingkindness You have aled
the people
whom
You have bredeemed
; In Your strength
You have guided
them cto Your holy
habitation
.
" aThe peoples have heard
, they tremble
; Anguish
has gripped
the inhabitants
of Philistia
.
"Then the achiefs
of Edom
were dismayed
; bThe leaders
of Moab
, trembling
grips
them; cAll
the inhabitants
of Canaan
have melted
away
.
" aTerror and dread
fall
upon them; bBy the greatness
of Your arm
they are motionless
as stone
; Until
Your people
pass
over
, O LORD
, Until
the people
pass
over
whom
You chave purchased
.
" aYou will bring them and bplant
them in cthe mountain
of Your inheritance
, dThe place
, O LORD
, which You have made
for Your dwelling
, eThe sanctuary
, O Lord
, which Your hands
have established
.
" aThe LORD shall reign
forever
and ever
."
aFor the horses of Pharaoh
with his chariots
and his horsemen
went
into the sea
, and the LORD
brought
back
the waters
of the sea
on them, but the sons
of Israel
walked
on bdry
land
through the midst
of the sea
.
aMiriam the prophetess
, Aaron's
sister
, took
the btimbrel
in her hand
, and all
the women
went
out after
her with timbrels
and with 1 cdancing
.
Miriam answered
them, " aSing
to the LORD
, for He 1is highly
exalted
; The horse
and his rider
He has hurled
into the sea
."
aThen Moses 1led
Israel
from the 2Red
Sea
, and they went
out into bthe wilderness
of cShur
; and they went
three
days
in the wilderness
and found
no
water
.
When they came to aMarah
, they could
not drink
the waters
1of Marah
, for they were 2bitter
; therefore
it was named
3Marah
.
So the people agrumbled
at Moses
, saying
, "What
shall we drink
?"
Then he acried out to the LORD
, and the LORD
showed
him ba tree
; and he threw
it into the waters
, and the waters
became
sweet
.
There He cmade
for them a statute
and regulation
, and there
He dtested
them.
And He said, " aIf
you will give
earnest
heed
to the voice
of the LORD
your God
, and do
what is right
in His sight
, and give
ear
bto His commandments
, and keep
all
His statutes
, cI will put
none
of the diseases
on you which
I have put
on the Egyptians
; for I, dthe LORD
, am your healer
."
Then they came to aElim
where
there were twelve
springs
of water
and seventy
date
palms
, and they camped
there
beside
the waters
.
