The Song of Moses and Israel

15aThen Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to Yahweh 1and said, 2,bI will sing to Yahweh, for He 3is highly exalted;cThe horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
21,aYah 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.3aYahweh is a warrior;bYahweh is His name.4aPharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;And the choicest of his officers are sunk in the 1Red Sea.5The deeps cover them;aThey went down into the depths like a stone.6aYour right hand, O Yahweh, is majestic in power,bYour right hand, O Yahweh, shatters the enemy.7And in the greatness of Your 1exaltation You apull down those who rise up against You;bYou send forth Your burning anger, and it cdevours them as chaff.8aAnd at 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.9aThe enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will bdivide the spoil;My 1desire shall be fulfilled against them;I will draw out my sword, my hand will dispossess them.’10aYou blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;bThey sank like lead in the 1mighty waters.11aWho is like You among the gods, O Yahweh?Who is like You, bmajestic in holiness,cFearsome in praises, dworking wonders?12aYou stretched out Your right hand,The earth swallowed them.13In Your lovingkindness You have aguided the people whom You have bredeemed;In Your strength You have led them cto Your holy habitation.14aThe peoples have heard, they tremble;Anguish has seized the inhabitants of Philistia.15Then the achiefs of Edom were dismayed;bThe leaders of Moab, trembling seizes them;cAll the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.16aTerror and dread fall upon them;bBy the greatness of Your arm they are still as stone;Until Your people pass over, O Yahweh,Until the people pass over whom You chave purchased.17aYou will bring them and bplant them in cthe mountain of Your inheritance,dThe place, O Yahweh, which You have made for You to inhabit,eThe sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.18aYahweh shall reign forever and ever.”
19aFor the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and Yahweh brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on bdry land through the midst of the sea.
20aAnd Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took the btambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with 1,cdancing. 21And Miriam answered them, aSing to Yahweh, for He 1is highly exalted;The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea.”
