Exodus xv.
1.
Unto the Lord I will sing praise,for he hath gloriously
Tryumph'd, the Horse and Rider he
hath thrown into the sea.
2.
Jehovah is my strength and song,yea my salvation;
My God, for him I will prepare
an habitation.
My fathers God, him will I then
exalt and spread his fame:
3.
Jehovah is a man of war,Jehovah is his name.
4.
He Pharaoh's chariots, and his host,into the sea hath thrown;
His chosen captains he likewise
in the red sea did drown.
5.
The depths below have cov'red themyea they did sink each one
Into the bottom of the sea,
even like unto a stone.
6.
Thy right hand Lord it is becomeglorious in power, yea lo
Thy right hand (Lord) to pieces hath
dash'd and destroy'd thy foe.
7.
In thine excelling greatness thouhast vanquish'd them that rose
Against thee yea thy wrath consum'd
(as stubble) hath thy foes.
8.
And by the breath and blast which wasout of thy Nostrils sent,
The waters which divided were,
again together went.
The floods likewise did stand upright
and as an heap appear:
And in the heart even of the sea,
the depths congealed were.
9.
The enemy said, I will pursue,yea I will overtake;
And of the spoyl which shal be found
I will division make.
Upon them I will satisfie
my lust, and it fulfil;
I will draw out my sword, my hand
shall them destroy and kill.
10.
Thy winds did blow, and over themthe sea it self did spread;
And in the mighty waters they
sank down like lumps of lead.
11.
O who is there that's like to thee,O Lord? sure there is none;
Who is there like to thee among
the Gods? there is not one.
Glorious thou art in holiness,
yea and in praises, thou
Art very fearful, and thou dost
abroad thy wonders show.
12.
Thou didst put forth, & stretchedst outthe right hand of thy power;
thy foes, & them devour.
13.
The people which thou hast redeem'dthou ledst forth in thy grace:
Guiding them by thy strength, unto
thy holy dwelling place.
14.
The people they shall hear of thisand fear shall them oppress;
And such as dwell in Palestine,
sorrow shall them possess.
15.
Then Edoms dukes shal be amaz'dand trembling shall take hold
On Moabs mighties, Canaans folk
shall melt when this is told:
16.
Yea fear and dread shall fall on them,and they shall be each one
By greatness of thine arm and power
as still as is a stone.
Until the people which are thine,
O Lord, are passed over;
I say, until the folk which thou
hast purchased, pass over.
17.
Thou Lord shalt bring this people in,and planted they shall be
Even in the mountain which belongs
as heritage to thee.
The place O Lord, where thou wilt dwell
and where thy house shall stand,
The sanctuary which thou hast
establish'd with thy hand.
18.
The Lord shal reign for evermore19.
For Pharaohs horse did goWith charets & with horsemen eke
into the sea below.
and over them to stand;
But Israels folk in midst of Sea
did walk upon dry land.
