Chapter 15 |
| 1 | Then sang
Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I
will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his
rider hath he thrown into the sea. |
| 2 | The LORD is my strength and
song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an
habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. |
| 3 | The LORD is a
man of war: the LORD is his name. |
| 4 | Pharaoh's chariots and his host
hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red
sea. |
| 5 |
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
stone. |
| 6 |
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. |
| 7 | And in the
greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against
thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. |
| 8 |
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the
floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of
the sea. |
| 9
| The 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. |
|
10 | Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea
covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. |
| 11 | Who is like
unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders? |
| 12 | Thou stretchedst out thy
right hand, the earth swallowed them. |
| 13 | Thou in thy mercy hast led
forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy
strength unto thy holy habitation. |
| 14 | The people shall hear, and be
afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. |
| 15 | Then
the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take
hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. |
| 16 | Fear
and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as
still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over,
which thou hast purchased. |
|
17 | Thou shalt bring them in, and plant
them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou
hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have
established. |
|
18 | The 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
children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. |
| 20 | And
Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all
the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. |
| 21 | And
Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. |
| 22 | So 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. |
| 23 | And
when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they
were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. |
| 24 | And the
people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? |
| 25 | And he
cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast
into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute
and an ordinance, and there he proved them, |
|
26 | And said, If thou wilt
diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is
right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his
statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought
upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. |
| 27 | And they
came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm
trees: and they encamped there by the waters. |
