15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the
LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
15:2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he [is] become my
salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him a habitation;
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
15:3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea:
his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
15:5 The depths have covered them: they sunk to the bottom as a
stone.
15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
15:7 And in the greatness of thy excellence thou hast overthrown
them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,
[which] consumed them as stubble.
15:8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were
collected, the floods stood upright as a heap, [and] the depths
were congealed in the heart of the sea.
15:9 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.
15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
15:11 Who [is] like to thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is]
like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing
wonders!
15:12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed
them.
15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou
hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength to thy
holy habitation.
15:14 The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take
hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15:15 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.
15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of
thy 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.
15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain
of thy 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.
15:18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
15:19 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.
15:20 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.
15:21 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.
15:22 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.
15:23 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.
15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall
we drink?
15:25 And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree,
[which] he cast into the waters, [and] the waters were made
sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and
there he proved them,
15:26 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.
15:27 And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water,
and seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
