1-8 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to God, giving voice together,I’m singing my heart out to God—what a victory!He pitched horse and rider into the sea.God is my strength, God is my song,and, yes! God is my salvation.This is the kind of God I haveand I’m telling the world!This is the God of my father—I’m spreading the news far and wide!God is a fighter,pure God, through and through.Pharaoh’s chariots and armyhe dumped in the sea,The elite of his officershe drowned in the Red Sea.Wild ocean waters poured over them;they sank like a rock in the deep blue sea.Your strong right hand, God, shimmers with power;your strong right hand shatters the enemy.In your mighty majestyyou smash your upstart enemies,You let loose your hot angerand burn them to a crisp.At a blast from your nostrilsthe waters piled up;Tumbling streams dammed up,wild oceans curdled into a swamp.
9 The enemy spoke,“I’ll pursue, I’ll hunt them down,I’ll divide up the plunder,I’ll glut myself on them;I’ll pull out my sword,my fist will send them reeling.”
10-11 You blew with all your mightand the sea covered them.They sank like a lead weightin the majestic waters.Who compares with youamong gods, O God?Who compares with you in power,in holy majesty,In awesome praises,wonder-working God?
12-13 You stretched out your right handand the Earth swallowed them up.But the people you redeemed,you led in merciful love;You guided them under your protectionto your holy pasture.
