15 Then Mosheh and the Israelis sang this song to Yahweh:[ref]

“I will sing to Yahweh because he’s been so successful—

he’s thrown both the horses and their riders into the sea.

2 I will sing about Yahweh, my source of strength,[ref]

and the one who saves me.

I will praise him because he’s my God—

≈he’s my father’s God and I will honour him.

3 Yahweh is a warrior.

Yahweh is his name.

4 He threw Far’oh’s chariots and his army into the sea.

≈His hand-picked officers have been sunk in the sea.

5 The deep waters cover them.

≈They descended into the depths like a stone.

6 Yahweh’s right arm is so powerful.

≈Yahweh’s right arm shattered our enemy.

7 You toss away your adversaries with your great power.

Your burning anger consumes them like straw in a fire.

8 It was your breath that made the waters pile up.

They stood up like a heap.

The deep water seemed like it was solid.

9 Our enemies thought that they could chase after us and overtake us.

They had planned to satisfy themselves by sharing out the plunder.

They were ready to use their swords and swing their arms to destroy us.

10 But you blew with your breath.

The sea covered them.

They sank like lead in that terrible surge.

11 Which other God is like you, Yahweh?

Who else is so powerful and yet sinless,

receiving praises for doing miracles?

12 You stretched out your powerful arm.

The earth swallowed them up.

13 You are leading the people you bought back,

because you committed yourself to love them.

You used your strength to lead them to your sinless home.

14 Other countries have heard, and they tremble.

≈Anguish has struck the inhabitants of Filistia.

15 The chiefs of Edom have panicked.

≈Trembling has seized the leaders of Moab.

≈The inhabitants of Kanaan have melted away.

16 Terror and dread have fallen on them.

After seeing your great power, they’ve stayed as still as stone

until your people have all marched past, Yahweh.

Until the people you bought have all gone past them.

17 Bring them into the land

and establish them on the mountain of your inheritance.

The place you’ve chosen to become your home, Yahweh—

a sanctuary built by your hands, master.

18 Yahweh will reign as king forever and ever.

19 Far’oh’s horse went into the sea, along with his chariots and horsemen,[fn]

and Yahweh brought the water back over them,

after the Israelis had walked through on dry ground in the middle of the sea.”

20 Then Aharon’s sister Miryam who was a prophetess, picked up a tambourine and went outside. All the other women did likewise and followed her out to dance together 21 so Miryam sang this response:

“Sing to Yahweh and tell of his amazing victory—

He tossed the horses and their riders into the sea.”
