us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, the horse and the rider he
hath thrown into the sea.

father, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.
4 Pharao's chariots and his army he hath cast into the
sea: his chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea.

bottom like a stone.

right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy.
7 And in the multitude of they glory thou hast put down
thy adversaries: thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like
stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy anger the waters were
gathered together: the flowing water stood, the depth were gathered together in
the midst of the sea.
9 The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, I will
divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill: I will draw my sword, my hand
shall slay them.
10 Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: they sunk as
lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? who
is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing
wonders?

swallowed them.
13 In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people
which thou hast redeemed: and in thy strength thou hast carried them to thy
holy habitation.
14 Nations rose up, and were angry: sorrows took hold
on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.

16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, in the greatness
of thy arm: let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord,
pass by: until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the
mountain of thy inheritance, in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made,
O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

and horsemen into the sea: and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of
the sea: but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst thereof.

timbrel in her hand: and all the women went forth after her with timbrels and

thrown into the sea.

shall we drink?
25 But he cried to the Lord, and he shewed him a tree,
which when he had cast into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. There
he appointed him ordinances, and judgments, and there he proved him,
26 Saying: If thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy
God, and do what is right before him, and obey his commandments, and keep all
his precepts, none of the evils that I laid upon Egypt, will I bring upon thee:
for I am the Lord thy healer.
27 And the children of Israel came into Elim, where
there were twelve fountains of water, and seventy palm trees: and they encamped
by the waters.
