Exodus 15:9
Compare all
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. 
14 “The apeople will hear and be afraid;
bSorrow1 will take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia. 
15 aThen bthe chiefs of Edom will be dismayed;
cThe mighty men of Moab,
Trembling will take hold of them;
dAll the inhabitants of Canaan will emelt away. 
16 aFear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be bas still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
cWhom You have purchased.

Exodus 15:9

The enemy said - As this song was composed by Divine inspiration, we may rest assured that these words were spoken by Pharaoh and his captains, and the passions they describe felt, in their utmost sway, in their hearts; but how soon was their boasting confounded? "Thou didst blow with thy wind, and the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters!"
