The Song of Moses and Israel

15 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this ^[a]song to the Lord, singing,

The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.

“The Lord is my strength and my song,
And He has become my salvation;
This is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
³
“The Lord is a warrior;
The Lord is His name.
⁴
“Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea;
His chosen captains are drowned in the ^[b]Red Sea.
⁵
“The deep [water] covers them;
[Clad in armor] they sank into the depths like a stone.
