Exodus 15 Then sung Moses and the Israelites this song to God, and spoke saying, Let us sing to the Lord, For he is gloriously exalted; Horse and rider he hath thrown in the sea.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then sung Moses and the Israelites this song to God, and spoke saying, Let us sing to the Lord, For he is gloriously exalted; Horse and rider he hath thrown in the sea. ² He was my help and defence for safety: He is my God, therefore I will praise him; My father's God, therefore I will extol him ³ A Lord crushing battles, his name is The Lord. ⁴ Pharao's chariots and host he threw in the sea; Chosen bands; Officers of highest rank. They were swallowed up in the Red sea. ⁵ In the sea, he whelmed them; They sank to the bottom like a stone. ⁶ Thy right hand, Lord, is glorious in power. Thy right hand, Lord, dashed enemies to pieces. ⁷ With thy great glory thou didst crush thine adversaries. Thou sentest forth thy wrath; it consumed them like stubble. ⁸ At the blast of thy wrath the water parted; The waters were compacted like a wall; The waves were condensed in the midst of the sea. ⁹ The enemy said, I will pursue and overtake, I will divide the spoil; I will glut my vengeance: My sword shall slay; my hand shall prevail. ¹⁰ Thou didst send forth thy blast, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in the mighty water. ¹¹ Who among the gods is like thee, Lord? Who is like thee? Glorified among Holies; Marvellous among Glories; working miracles! ¹² Thou didst stretch forth thy right hand, The earth swallowed them up, ¹³ In thy kindness thou hast been the guide Of this thy people whom thou hast redeemed. By thy power thou hast called them forth to thy holy place for resting. ¹⁴ Nations have heard and are troubled: Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Phylisteim; ¹⁵ The Emirs of Edom are already in commotion; And as for the chiefs of Moab, horror hath seized them: All the inhabitants of Chanaan are appalled. ¹⁶ On them let dread and terror fall. By the greatness of thine arm may they be petrified, till thy people pass through, Lord; till this thy people pass by, whom thou hast purchased. ¹⁷ Introduce and plant them on the mount of thy heritage in the settlement thou hast prepared for thy dwelling, Lord; The sanctuary, Lord, which thy hands have prepared. ¹⁸ The Lord reigneth for ever and for evermore. ¹⁹ Because Pharao's cavalry with chariots and charioteers went into the sea, and the Lord brought upon them the water of the sea; and the Israelites marched in the midst of the sea on dry ground; ²⁰ therefore Mariam the prophetess the sister of Aaron took in her hand a timbrel and all the women went out after her with timbrels in choirs, ²¹ and Mariam led the song for them, saying, Let us sing to the Lord, For he is gloriously exalted: Horse and rider he hath thrown in the sea; ²² Then Moses drew off the Israelites from the Red sea; and led them into the wilderness of Sour, and they marched three days in the wilderness and found no water to drink. ²³ And when they came to Merra they could not drink the water there, for it was bitter. Therefore they called the name of that place Bitterness. ²⁴ And the people murmured against Moses and said, What are we to drink? ²⁵ Upon this Moses cried to the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a piece of wood and he threw it into the water, and the water was made sweet. There he instituted for them rules of rectitude and judgments, and there he proved them ²⁶ and said, If thou wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and do the things well pleasing in his sight, and hearken to his commandments, and keep all these his rules of rectitude, I will not bring upon thee any of the diseases which I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord thy God who healeth thee. ²⁷ Then they came to Aileim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
