“I will sing to the Lord,
    because he ·is worthy of great honor [is highly exalted; has triumphed gloriously].
He has ·thrown the horse and its rider
    into the sea.
² The Lord ·gives me strength and makes me sing [^Lis my strength and my song];
    he ·has saved me [^Lis my salvation].
He is my God,
    and I will praise him.
He is the God of my ·ancestors [fathers],
    and I will ·honor [exalt] him.
³ The Lord is a ·warrior [^Lman of war];
    ·the Lord [^LYahweh; 3:14–17] is his name.
⁴ The chariots and soldiers of ·the king of Egypt [^LPharaoh]
    he has ·thrown [cast] into the sea.
·The king’s [^LHis] ·best [handpicked; elite] officers
    are drowned in the ·Red [or Reed; 10:19] Sea.
⁵ The ·deep waters [floods] covered them,
    and they sank ·to the bottom [^Linto the depths] like a ·rock [stone].
⁶ Your right hand, Lord,
    is ·amazingly [gloriously] strong.
Lord, your right hand
    broke the enemy to pieces.
⁷ In your great victory
    you ·destroyed [demolished] those who ·were [^Lrose up] against you.
·Your anger destroyed them [^LYou sent out your anger],
    ·like fire burning straw [^Lit consumed them like chaff/stubble/straw].
⁸ Just a blast of your ·breath [or anger],
    and the waters piled up.
The moving water stood like a ·wall [or heap];
    the ·deep waters [floods] ·became solid [congealed] in the ·middle [^Lheart] of the sea.

⁹ “The enemy ·bragged [^Lsaid],
    ‘I’ll ·chase them [^Lpursue] and ·catch them [^Lovertake].
I’ll ·take all their riches [^Ldivide the plunder];
    ·I’ll take all I want [^LMy desire/appetite will have my fill of them].
I’ll ·pull out [draw] my sword,
    and my hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew on them with your ·breath [or wind]
    and covered them with the sea.
They sank like lead
    in the ·raging water [mighty waters].

¹¹ “·Are there any gods like you [^LWho is like you among the gods], Lord?

·There are no gods [^LWho is…?] like you.
    You are ·wonderfully holy [splendid/majestic in holiness],
    ·amazingly powerful [awesome in power],
    ·a worker of miracles [doing wonders].
¹² You ·reached out with [extend; stretch out] your right hand,
    and the earth swallowed ·our enemies [^Lthem].
¹³ You ·keep your loving promise
    and lead [^Lled by your covenant love] the people you have ·saved [^Lredeemed; ransomed].
With your strength you will guide them
    to your holy ·place [abode; ^Cthe Promised Land].

¹⁴ “The ·other nations [^Lpeoples] will hear this and tremble with fear;
    ·terror [writhing; pangs] will take hold of the Philistines.
¹⁵ The ·leaders of the tribes [chiefs] of Edom will be ·very frightened [scared];
the powerful men of Moab will ·shake with fear [be seized by shaking];
the people of Canaan will ·lose all their courage [^Lmelt].
¹⁶ Terror and horror will fall on them.
·When they see your strength [^LBy the power of your arm],
    they will be as still as a ·rock [stone].
They will be still until your people pass by, Lord.
    They will be still until the people you have ·taken as your own [purchased; acquired; or created] pass by.
¹⁷ You will ·lead your people [^Lbring them] and ·place [^Lplant] them
    on ·your very own mountain [^Lthe mountain of your possession/inheritance],
the place that you, Lord, made for ·yourself to live [your abode],
    the ·temple [sanctuary], Lord, that your hands have ·made [established].
¹⁸ The Lord will ·be king [reign] forever!”

“Sing to the Lord,
    because he ·is worthy of great honor [is highly exalted; or has triumphed gloriously];
he has thrown the horse and its rider
    into the sea.”
