1Then sang 1Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2The Lordis1my strength and song, and he is become my 2salvation: he is3my God, and I will prepare him an 4habitation; my father's God, and I will 5exalt him.
3The Lordis1a man of war: the 2Lordis his name.
41Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

61Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7And in the 1greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up 2against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them 3as stubble.
8And with the 1blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, 2the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9The enemy said, 1I 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 adestroy them.
10Thou didst 1blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
111Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the agods? who is like thee, 2glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13Thou in thy mercy hast 1led forth the people which2thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto 3thy holy habitation.
141The people shall hear, and be afraid: 2sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15Then 1the dukes of Edom 2shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall 3melt away.
16Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still 1as a stone; till 2thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17Thou shalt 1bring them in, and plant them in 2the mountain of thine 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.
18The Lord shall 1reign for ever and ever.

25And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a 1tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he 2proved them,
26And said, 1If 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 2diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: 3for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
