Exodus 15:1-15:18 (The Song of Moses)

Chapter 15

15:1    Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:

            “I will sing to the LORD,

                   because He has won a

                   glorious victory;

               he has thrown the horses

                    and their riders into the

                    sea.

15:2    The LORD is my strong

                   defender;

               He is the One Who has saved

                   me.

            He is my God, and I will praise

                   Him,

               my father’s God, and I will

                   sing about His greatness.

15:3    The LORD is a Warrior;

               the LORD is His Name.

15:4    “He threw Egypt’s army and its

                    chariots into the sea;

               the best of its officers were

                    drowned in the Red Sea.

15:5    The deep sea covered them;

               they sank to the bottom like

                    a stone.

15:6    “Your right hand, LORD,

                    is awesome in power;

               it breaks the enemy in

                    pieces.

15:7    In majestic triumph You

                    overthrow Your foes;

               Your anger blazes out and

                    burns them up like straw.

15:8    You blew on the sea and the

                    water piled up high;

               it stood up straight like a

                    wall;

               the deepest part of the sea became solid.

15:9    The enemy sad, ‘I will pursue

                    them and catch them;

               I will divide their wealth and

                    take all I want;

               I will draw my sword and

                    take all they have.’

15:10    But one breath from You,

                     Lord, and the Egyptians

                     were drowned;

                 they sank like lead in the

                     terrible water.

15:11    “LORD, who among the gods

                     is like You?

                 Who is like You, wonderful

                     in holiness?

                 Who can work miracles and mighty acts like Yours?

15:12    You stretched out Your right

                     hand,

                 and the earth swallowed

                     our enemies.

15:13    Faithful to Your promise, You

                     led the people You had

                     rescued;

                 by Your strength You guided

                     them to Your sacred land.

15:14    The nations have heard, and

                     they tremble with fear;

                 the Philistines are seized

                     with terror.

15:15    The leaders of Edom are

                     terrified;

                 Moab’s mighty men are

                     trembling;

                 the people of Canaan lose

                     their courage.

15:16    Terror and dread fall upon

                     them.

              They see Your strength,

                     O LORD,

                 and stand helpless with fear

                 until Your people have

                      marched past –

                 the people You set free from

                      slavery.

15:17    You bring them in and plant

                      them on Your mountain,

                 the place that You, LORD,

                      have chosen for Your 

                      home,

                 the Temple that You Yourself

                      have built.

15:18    You, LORD, will be King forever and ever.”
