2 The Lord is my strength,the reason for my song,because he has saved me.I praise and honour the Lord—he is my God and the Godof my ancestors.
3 The Lord is his name,and he is a warrior!
4 He threw the chariots and armyof Egypt's kinginto the Red Sea,and he drowned the bestof the king's officers.
5 They sank to the bottomjust like stones.
6 With the tremendous forceof your right arm, our Lord,you crushed your enemies.
7 What a great victory was yours,as you defeated everyonewho opposed you.Your fiery anger wiped them out,as though they were straw.
8 You were so furiousthat the sea piled uplike a wall,and the ocean depthscurdled like cheese.
