1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song unto the LORD, “I will sing unto the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider has He thrown into the sea. 2The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will prepare Him a habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt Him. 3The LORD is a Man of war; the LORD is His name.

4“Pharaoh's chariots and his host has He cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea. 5The depths have covered them; they sank to the bottom like a stone. 6Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, has shattered the enemy. 7And in the greatness of Your excellency, You have overthrown those that rose against You. You sent out Your wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 8And with the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up, the surging floods stood upright like a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9The enemy said, ‘I 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 destroy them.’ 10You blew with Your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11“Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 12You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13You, in Your mercy, have led out the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength unto Your holy habitation. 14The people shall hear, and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia. 15Then the chiefs of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab will tremble; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 16Fear and dread shall fall upon them. By the greatness of Your arm, they shall be as still as a stone; till Your people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, whom You have purchased. 17You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which You have made for You to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which Your hands have established. 18The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

19“For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the Israelites went on dry land in the middle of the sea.”

20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women followed her with timbrels and with dances. 21And Miriam answered them, “Sing you to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider has He thrown into the sea.”

22So Moses brought Israel up from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days into the wilderness, and found no water. 23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore, the name of it was called “Marah” (bitterness). 24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which, when he had cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them, 26And said, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do what is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD That heals you.”

27And they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water, and seventy palm trees; and they camped there by the waters.
