Then sang Moses and the sons of Israel this song to Jehovah , and they said , saying,
I will sing to Jehovah , for rising··up◦ He has raised· Himself ·up◦,
the horse and his rider has He thrown··out* into the sea .
2
My strength and psalm is Jah , and He has been my salvation ;
this is my God ◦, and I will make· Him ·a··home;
the God of my father , and I will exalt Him.
3
Jehovah is a man ◦ of war ; Jehovah is His name .
4
Pharaoh ’s chariots and his forces He has cast into the sea ;
and the chosen of the third -ranking leaders are sunk in the Suph sea*.
5
The abysses have covered them; they went··down into the depths as▵ a stone .
6
Thy right··hand, O Jehovah , is··magnificent in power;
with Thy right··hand, O Jehovah , Thou breakest··in··pieces the enemy .
7
And in the multitude of Thine excellency Thou breakest··down those who rise ··up against Thee;
Thou sendest forth Thy fierceness, it devours them as stubble .
8
And with the wind of Thy nostrils the waters were stacked··up,
the streams stood··up as a heap◦;
the abysses were congealed in the heart of the sea .
9
The enemy said , I will pursue , I will overtake ,
I will··part the spoil ; my soul shall be filled with them;
I will unsheathe my sword , my hand shall dispossess them.
10
Thou didst blow with Thy wind , the sea covered them;
they sought the shadows as lead in the magnificent waters.
11
Who is like◦ Thee, O Jehovah , among◦ the gods◦?
Who is like◦ Thee, magnificent in holiness ,
to be feared with praises, doing what is wonderful?
12
Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand , the earth swallowed · them ·up.
13
In Thy mercy Thou hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed ;
Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to▵ the home of Thy holiness .
14
The peoples have heard , they have trembled;
travailing has seized those who dwell ··in Philistia .
15
Then▵ were the leaders of Edom vexed;
the powerful of Moab , quivering has seized them;
all who dwell ··in Canaan are dissolved.
16
Terror has fallen on them, and dread;
in the greatness of Thine arm they shall be··still* as a stone ,
until Thy people shall cross··over, O Jehovah ,
until this people shall cross··over which◦ Thou hast bought.
17
Thou shalt bring · them ·in, Thou shalt plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance ,
in the established place Thou hast wrought for Thee to dwell , O Jehovah ,
the sanctuary, O Lord , that Thy hands have established.
18
Jehovah shall reign to eternity and forever .
19
For the horse of Pharaoh came with his chariot and with his horsemen into the sea ,
and Jehovah turned··back the waters of the sea upon them;
and the sons of Israel went on the dry through the midst of the sea .
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 .
21
And Miriam answered to them, Sing ye to Jehovah , for rising··up◦ He has raised· Himself ·up◦; the horse and his rider has He thrown··out into the sea .
22
And Moses made Israel journey from the Suph Sea , and they went out to the wilderness of Shur ; and they went three days in the wilderness , and found no waters.
23
And they came to▫ Marah , and they could not drink the waters for bitterness, for they◦ were bitter; therefore he called the name of it Marah .
24
And the people murmured against Moses , saying, What shall we drink ?
25
And he cried to Jehovah , and Jehovah showed him wood , and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There He set for him a statute and a judgment , and there He tempted him;
26
and He said , If hearing thou wilt hear the voice of Jehovah thy God , and wilt do what is upright in His eyes , and wilt give··ear to His commandments , and wilt keep all His statutes , all the sicknesses that I have put on the Egyptians , I will not put upon thee, because I am Jehovah thy healer.
27
And they came to Elim , and there were twelve founts of waters there, and seventy palm··trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
