The Song of Moses and Miriam

15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord,     for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver     he has hurled into the sea.

2 “The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];     he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him,     my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 3 The Lord is a warrior;     the Lord is his name. 4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army     he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh’s officers     are drowned in the Red Sea.[b] 5 The deep waters have covered them;     they sank to the depths like a stone. 6 Your right hand, Lord,     was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord,     shattered the enemy.

7 “In the greatness of your majesty     you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger;     it consumed them like stubble. 8 By the blast of your nostrils     the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall;     the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy boasted,     ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils;     I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword     and my hand will destroy them.’ 10 But you blew with your breath,     and the sea covered them. They sank like lead     in the mighty waters. 11 Who among the gods     is like you, Lord? Who is like you—     majestic in holiness, awesome in glory,     working wonders?
