Exodus Chapter 15

Exodus Chapter 15
1 Then sang Moses and the children of
Israel this song unto the Lord, and said
in this manner, I will sing unto the Lord:
for he hath triumphed gloriously: the
horse and him that rode upon him hath he
overthrown in the sea. 2 The Lord is my
strength and praise, and he is become my
salvation. He is my God, and I will
prepare him a tabernacle. He is my
father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a man of war, his name is
Jehovah.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he
cast into the sea: his chosen captains
also were drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The depths have covered them, they
sank to the bottom as a stone. 6 Thy right
hand, Lord, is glorious in power: thy
right hand, Lord, hath bruised the enemy.
7 And in thy great glory thou hast
overthrown them that rose against thee:
thou sentest forth thy wrath, which
consumed them as the stubble. 8 And by
the blast of thy nostrils the waters were
gathered, the floods stood still as an
heap, the depths congealed together in
the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I
will pursue, I will overtake them, I will
divide the spoil, my lust shall be
satisfied upon them, I will draw my
sword, mine hand shall destroy them.
10Thou blewest 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 so glorious in holiness, fearful in
praises, showing wonders!
12Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the
earth swallowed them. 13 Thou wilt by
thy mercy carry this people, which thou
deliverest: thou wilt bring them in thy
strength unto thine holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear and be afraid:
sorrow shall come upon the inhabitants
of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be
amazed, and trembling shall come upon
the great men of Moab: all the
inhabitants of Canaan shall wax faint
hearted. 16 Fear and dread shall fall
upon them: because of the greatness of
thine arm, they shall be still as a stone,
till thy people pass, O Lord: till this
people pass, which thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant
them in the mountain of thine inheritance
, which is the place that thou hast
prepared, O Lord, for to dwell in, even
the sanctuary, O Lord, which thine hands
shall establish. 18 The Lord shall reign
forever and ever.
19 For Pharaoh’s horses went with his
chariots and horsemen into the sea, and
the Lord brought 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, sister of
Aaron took a timbrel in her hand, and all
the women came out after her with
timbrels and dances.
21 And Miriam answered the men, Sing
ye unto the Lord: for he hath triumphed
gloriously: the horse and his rider hath
he overthrown in the sea. 22 Then
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 waters.
23 And when they came to Marah, they
could not drink of the waters of Marah,
for they were bitter: therefore the name
of the place was called Marah. 24 Then
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
sweet: there he made them an ordinance
and a law, and there he proved them,
26 And said, if thou wilt diligently
hearken, O Israel, unto the voice of the
Lord thy God, and wilt do that, which is
right in his sight, and wilt give ear unto
his commandments, and keep all his
ordinances, then will I put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I brought upon
the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that
healeth thee.
27 And they came to Elim, where were
twelve fountains of water, and seventy
palm trees, and they camped there by the
waters.
