Israel's Song
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 15
|
|
1. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to
|
|
the
|
|
Lord. They said:
|
|
I will sing to
|
|
the
|
|
Lord,
|
|
for he is highly exalted;
|
|
he has thrown the horse
|
|
and its rider
|
|
into the sea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The
|
|
Lord is my strength and my song;
|
|
he has become my salvation.
|
|
This is my God, and I will praise him,
|
|
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
|
|
|
|
3. The
|
|
Lord is a warrior;
|
|
the
|
|
Lord is his name.
|
|
|
|
4. He threw Pharaoh's chariots
|
|
and his army into the sea;
|
|
the elite of his officers
|
|
were drowned in the Red Sea.
|
|
|
|
5. The floods covered them;
|
|
they sank to the depths like a stone.
|
|
|
|
6.
|
|
Lord, your right hand
|
|
is glorious in power.
|
|
|
|
Lord, your right hand shattered the enemy.
|
|
|
|
7. You overthrew your adversaries
|
|
by your great majesty.
|
|
You unleashed your burning wrath;
|
|
it consumed them like stubble.
|
|
|
|
8. The water heaped up at the blast from your nostrils;
|
|
the currents stood firm like a dam.
|
|
The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
|
|
|
|
9. The enemy said:
|
|
"I will pursue, I will overtake,
|
|
I will divide the spoil.
|
|
My desire will be gratified at their expense.
|
|
I will draw my sword;
|
|
my hand will destroy them."
|
|
|
|
10. But you blew with your breath,
|
|
and the sea covered them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
They sank like lead
|
|
in the mighty waters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11.
|
|
Lord, who is like you among the gods?
|
|
Who is like you,
|
|
glorious in holiness,
|
|
revered with praises, performing wonders?
|
|
|
|
12. You stretched out your right hand,
|
|
and the earth swallowed them.
|
|
|
|
13. With your faithful love,
|
|
you will lead the people
|
|
you have redeemed;
|
|
you will guide them to your holy dwelling
|
|
with your strength.
|
|
|
|
14. When the peoples hear, they will shudder;
|
|
anguish will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
|
|
|
|
15. Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified;
|
|
trembling will seize the leaders of Moab;
|
|
all the inhabitants of Canaan will panic;
|
|
|
|
16. terror and dread will fall on them.
|
|
They will be as still as a stone
|
|
because of your powerful arm
|
|
until your people pass by,
|
|
Lord,
|
|
until the people whom you purchased pass by.
|
|
|
|
17. You will bring them in and plant them
|
|
on the mountain of your possession;
|
|
Lord, you have prepared the place
|
|
for your dwelling;
|
|
Lord, your hands have established the sanctuary.
|
|
|
|
18. The
|
|
Lord will reign forever and ever!
|
|
|
|
19. When Pharaoh's horses with his chariots and horsemen went into the sea,
|
|
the
|
|
Lord brought the water of the sea back over them. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
|
|
20. Then the prophetess Miriam, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out following her with tambourines and dancing.
|
|
21. Miriam sang to them:
|
|
Sing to
|
|
the
|
|
Lord,
|
|
for he is highly exalted;
|
|
he has thrown the horse
|
|
and its rider
|
|
into the sea.
|
|
|
|
Water Provided
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. Then Moses led Israel on from the Red Sea, and they went out to the Wilderness of Shur. They journeyed for three days in the wilderness without finding water.
|
|
23. They came to Marah, but they could not drink the water at Marah because it was bitter--that is why it was named Marah.
|
|
24. The people grumbled to Moses, "What are we going to drink?"
|
|
25. So he cried out to
|
|
the
|
|
Lord, and
|
|
the
|
|
Lord showed him a tree. When he threw it into the water, the water became drinkable.
|
|
The
|
|
Lord made a statute and ordinance for them at Marah, and he tested them there.
|
|
26. He said, "If you will carefully obey
|
|
the
|
|
Lord your God, do what is right in his sight, pay attention to his commands, and keep all his statutes, I will not inflict any illnesses on you that I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am
|
|
the
|
|
Lord who heals you."
|
|
|
|
27. Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy date palms, and they camped there by the water.
