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.
02 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 father's God, and I
will exalt him.
03 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is
his name.
04 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he
cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are
drowned in the Red sea.
05 The depths have covered them: they sank
into the bottom as a stone.
06 Thy right hand, O Lord, is become
glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath
dashed in pieces the enemy.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
