¹Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yahweh, and they said: I will sing to Yahweh, for he is highly exalted; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea.

²My strength and song is Yah, and he has become my deliverance; this is my God, and I will celebrate him; the God of my father, and I will lift him high.

³Yahweh is a man of war; Yahweh is his name.

⁴Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has thrown into the sea, and the choicest of his officers were sunk in the Sea of Reeds.

⁵The deeps covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone.

⁶Your right hand, Yahweh, is glorious in strength; your right hand, Yahweh, shatters the enemy.

⁷And in the abundance of your majesty you threw down those who rose against you; you sent forth your burning anger, it ate them like stubble.

⁸And by the breath of your nostrils the waters were piled up; the streams stood like a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the plunder; my being will be filled with them; I will draw my sword, my hand will dispossess them.

¹⁰You blew with your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in mighty waters.

¹¹Who is like you among the gods, Yahweh? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing wonders?

¹²You stretched out your right hand; the land swallowed them down.

¹³In your loyal love you led the people whom you redeemed; you guided them gently by your strength to your holy abode.

¹⁴The peoples heard, they trembled; anguish took hold of the dwellers of Philistia.

¹⁵Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; the rams of Moab, trembling seized them; all the dwellers of Canaan melted away.

¹⁶Terror and dread fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they are still as a stone, until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over whom you acquired.

¹⁷You bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, a settled place for you to dwell in, which you made, Yahweh, a sanctuary, Lord, which your hands established.

¹⁸Yahweh will reign forever and ever.

¹⁹For Pharaoh's horses came in with his chariotry and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yahweh brought back over them the waters of the sea; but the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the middle of the sea.

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

²¹And Miriam answered them: Sing to Yahweh, for he is highly exalted; the horse and its rider he has thrown into the sea.

²²And Moses led Israel out from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out to the wilderness of Shur; they walked three days in the wilderness and did not find water.

²³And they came to Marah, but could not drink the waters from Marah, for they were bitter; therefore its name was called Marah.

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

²⁵And he cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him a tree; he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he set for them a statute and a justice, and there he tested them.

²⁶And he said: If you truly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will not put on you any of the sickness that I put on Egypt; for I am Yahweh who heals you.

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