1 Então, entoou Moisés e os filhos de Israel este cântico ao Senhor, e disseram:

Cantarei ao Senhor, porque triunfou gloriosamente;

lançou no mar o cavalo e o seu cavaleiro.

2 O Senhor é a minha força e o meu cântico;

ele me foi por salvação;

este é o meu Deus; portanto, eu o louvarei;

ele é o Deus de meu pai; por isso, o exaltarei.

3 O Senhor é homem de guerra;

Senhor é o seu nome.

4 Lançou no mar os carros de Faraó e o seu exército;

e os seus capitães afogaram-se no mar Vermelho.

5 Os vagalhões os cobriram;

desceram às profundezas como pedra.

6 A tua destra, ó Senhor, é gloriosa em poder;

a tua destra, ó Senhor, despedaça o inimigo.

7 Na grandeza da tua excelência, derribas os que se levantam contra ti;

envias o teu furor, que os consome como restolho.

8 Com o resfolgar das tuas narinas, amontoaram-se as águas,

as correntes pararam em montão;

os vagalhões coalharam-se no coração do mar.

9 O inimigo dizia: Perseguirei, alcançarei,

repartirei os despojos; a minha alma se fartará deles,

arrancarei a minha espada, e a minha mão os destruirá.

10 Sopraste com o teu vento, e o mar os cobriu;

afundaram-se como chumbo em águas impetuosas.

11 Ó Senhor, quem é como tu entre os deuses?

Quem é como tu, glorificado em santidade,

terrível em feitos gloriosos, que operas maravilhas?

12 Estendeste a destra;

e a terra os tragou.

13 Com a tua beneficência guiaste o povo que salvaste;

com a tua força o levaste à habitação da tua santidade.

14 Os povos o ouviram, eles estremeceram;

agonias apoderaram-se dos habitantes da Filístia.

15 Ora, os príncipes de Edom se perturbam,

dos poderosos de Moabe se apodera temor,

esmorecem todos os habitantes de Canaã.

16 Sobre eles cai espanto e pavor;

pela grandeza do teu braço, emudecem como pedra;

até que passe o teu povo, ó Senhor,

até que passe o povo que adquiriste.

17 Tu o introduzirás e o plantarás no monte da tua herança,

no lugar que aparelhaste, ó Senhor, para a tua habitação,

no santuário, ó Senhor, que as tuas mãos estabeleceram.

18 O Senhor reinará por todo o sempre.

19 Porque os cavalos de Faraó, com os seus carros e com os seus cavalarianos, entraram no mar, e o Senhor fez tornar sobre eles as águas do mar; mas os filhos de Israel passaram a pé enxuto pelo meio do mar.

20 A profetisa Miriã, irmã de Arão, tomou um tamborim, e todas as mulheres saíram atrás dela com tamborins e com danças. 21 E Miriã lhes respondia:

Cantai ao Senhor, porque gloriosamente triunfou

e precipitou no mar o cavalo e o seu cavaleiro.

22 Fez Moisés partir a Israel do mar Vermelho, e saíram para o deserto de Sur; caminharam três dias no deserto e não acharam água. 23 Afinal, chegaram a Mara; todavia, não puderam beber as águas de Mara, porque eram amargas; por isso, chamou-se-lhe Mara. 24 E o povo murmurou contra Moisés, dizendo: Que havemos de beber? 25 Então, Moisés clamou ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe mostrou uma árvore; lançou-a Moisés nas águas, e as águas se tornaram doces. Deu-lhes ali estatutos e uma ordenação, e ali os provou, 26 e disse: Se ouvires atento a voz do Senhor, teu Deus, e fizeres o que é reto diante dos seus olhos, e deres ouvido aos seus mandamentos, e guardares todos os seus estatutos, nenhuma enfermidade virá sobre ti, das que enviei sobre os egípcios; pois eu sou o Senhor, que te sara.

27 Então, chegaram a Elim, onde havia doze fontes de água e setenta palmeiras; e se acamparam junto das águas.

1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake, saying,

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously:

The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2 Jehovah is my strength and song,

And he is become my salvation:

This is my God, and I will praise him;

My father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3 Jehovah is a man of war:

Jehovah is his name.

4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea;

And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.

5 The deeps cover them:

They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power,

Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces the enemy.

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee: Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble.

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up,

The floods stood upright as a heap;

The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;

My desire 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 Jehovah, 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 lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed:

Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.

14 The peoples have heard, they tremble:

Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed;

The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them:

All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

16 Terror and dread falleth upon them;

By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone;

Till thy people pass over, O Jehovah,

Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.

17 Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,

The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in,

The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever.

19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked 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 Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously;

The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

22 And Moses led Israel onward 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 Jehovah; And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them; 26 and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee. 27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: "I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.

2 "The LORD is my strength and my defense "; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea. [^2]

5 The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.

6 Your right hand, LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, LORD, shattered the enemy.

7 "In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.

8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.'

10 But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you — majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?

12 "You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies.

13 In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.

15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people "of Canaan will melt away;

16 terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone — until your people pass by, LORD, until the people you bought "pass by.

17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance — the place, LORD, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.

18 "The LORD reigns for ever and ever."

19 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen "went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.

20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.

21 Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea."

22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.

23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah. ")

24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?"

25 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink. There the LORD issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.

26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."

27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water.
