Exodus 15

1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

1Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.

2My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation: This is myGod, and I will glorify him; My father'sGod, and I will extol him.

2The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.

3Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.

3The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

4Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea; His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

4Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.

5The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.

5They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.

6Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

6Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.

7And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries: Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.

7When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.

8And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up; The streams stood as a mound; The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

8By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be sated upon them; I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.

9Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.

10Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them; They sank as lead in the mighty waters.

10You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

11Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among thegods? Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness, Fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?

11Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?

12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

12When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.

13Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.

13In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.

14The peoples heard it, they were afraid: A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

14Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.

15Then the princes of Edom were amazed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them; All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

15The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.

16Fear and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.

16Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.

17Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place that thou, Jehovah, hast made thy dwelling, The Sanctuary, Lord, that thy hands have prepared.

17You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.

18Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever!

18The Lord is King for ever and ever.

19For the horse of Pharaoh, with his chariots and with his horsemen, came into the sea, and Jehovah brought again the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel went on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.

19For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.

20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the tambour in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambours and with dances.

20And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

21And Miriam answered them, Sing to Jehovah, for he is highly exalted: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

21And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.

22And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

22Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.

23And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.

23And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.

24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

24And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?

25And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.

25And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;

26And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thyGod, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.

26And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.

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

27And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
