Exodus 15:1

The Song of Moses

1 Then ^aMoses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:
“I will ^bsing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!

2 The Lord is my strength and ^asong,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and ^bI will praise Him;
My ^cfather’s God, and I ^dwill exalt Him.

3 The Lord is a man of ^awar;
The Lord is His ^bname.

4 ^aPharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
^bHis chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 The depths have covered them;
^aThey sank to the bottom like a stone.

6 “Your ^aright hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power;
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

7 And in the greatness of Your ^aexcellence
You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth ^bYour wrath;
It ^cconsumed them ^dlike stubble.

8 And ^awith the blast of Your nostrils
The waters were gathered together;
^bThe floods stood upright like a heap;
The depths¹ congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 ^aThe enemy said, ‘I will pursue,
I will overtake,
I will ^bdivide the spoil;
My desire shall be satisfied on them.
I will draw my sword,
My hand shall destroy them.’

10 You blew with Your wind,
The sea covered them;
They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 “Who ^ais like You, O Lord, among the¹ gods?
Who is like You, ^bglorious in holiness,
Fearful in ^cpraises, ^ddoing wonders?

12 You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.

13 You in Your mercy have ^aled forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To ^bYour holy habitation.

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
