1 Then sang Moses and
the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will
sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and
song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will
prepare him an habitation; my fathers God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war:
the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaohs chariots and his host
hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red
sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they
sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become
glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the
enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine
excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou
sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils
the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and
the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I
will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon
them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind,
the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O
LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right
hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth
the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them
in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and
be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be
amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all
the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon
them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a
stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which
thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and
plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O
LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the
Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and
ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in
with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought
again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on
dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the
sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out
after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye
to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider
hath he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought
Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur;
and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they
could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter:
therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against
Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and
the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters,
the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an
ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently
hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right
in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have
brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
27 And they came to Elim, where were
twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they
encamped there by the waters.
