2The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3The LORD is a warrior;
the LORD is his name.

4Pharaoh's chariots and his army
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh's officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.Hebrew Yam Suph; that is, Sea of Reeds; also in verse 22

5The deep waters have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.

6“Your right hand, O LORD,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand, O LORD,
shattered the enemy.

7In the greatness of your majesty
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;
it consumed them like stubble.

8By the blast of your nostrils
the waters piled up.
The surging waters stood firm like a wall;
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

9“The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.’

10But you blew with your breath,
and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
in the mighty waters.

11“Who among the gods is like you, O LORD?
Who is like you—
majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory,
working wonders?

12You stretched out your right hand
and the earth swallowed them.

13“In your unfailing love you will lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.

14The nations will hear and tremble;
anguish will grip the people of Philistia.

15The chiefs of Edom will be terrified,
the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,
the peopleOr rulers of Canaan will melt away;

16terror and dread will fall upon them.
By the power of your arm
they will be as still as a stone—
until your people pass by, O LORD,
until the people you boughtOr created pass by.

17You will bring them in and plant them
on the mountain of your inheritance—
the place, O LORD, you made for your dwelling,
the sanctuary, O Lord, your hands established.

18The LORD will reign
for ever and ever.”

19When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemenOr charioteers went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.20Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing.21Miriam sang to them:
“Sing to the LORD,
for he is highly exalted.
The horse and its rider
he has hurled into the sea.”

25Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.
There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them.26He said, “If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”

27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.
