3 For while they were still engaged in funeral ritesand mourning at the burials of the dead,They adopted another senseless plan:those whom they had driven out with entreatiesthey now pursued as fugitives.
4 For a compulsion appropriate to this ending drew them on,and made them forget what had befallen them,That they might complete the torments of their punishment,
5 and your people might experience a glorious journeywhile those others met an extraordinary death.
6 For all creation, in its several kinds, was being made over anew,serving your commands, that your children might be preserved unharmed.
7 The cloud overshadowed their camp;and out of what had been water, dry land was seen emerging:Out of the Red Sea an unimpeded road,and a grassy plain out of the mighty flood.
8 Over this crossed the whole nation sheltered by your hand,and they beheld stupendous wonders.
9 For they ranged about like horses,and leapt like lambs,praising you, Lord, their deliverer.
