King James VersionExodus15

Exodus

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 shewed 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.
