Song of the Sea - Shirat HaYam

1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing unto the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. 2 The LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation​; this is my God, and I will glorify Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him. 3 The LORD is a man of war, The LORD is His name. 4 Pharaoh's​ chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. 5 The deeps cover them--the​y went down into the depths like a stone. 6 Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Thy right hand, O LORD, dasheth in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness​​ of Thine excellenc​y Thou overthrow​est them that rise up against Thee; Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth​ them as stubble. 8 And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were piled up--the floods stood upright as a heap; the deeps were congealed​ in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said: 'I will pursue, I will overtake,​ I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied​ upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.' 10 Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the mighty? who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness,​ fearful in praises, doing wonders? 12 Thou stretched​st out Thy right hand--the​ earth swallowed​ them. 13 Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed;​ Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitatio​n. 14 The peoples have heard, they tremble; pangs have taken hold on the inhabitan​​ts of Philistia​. 15 Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighte​d; the mighty men of Moab, trembling​ taketh hold upon them; all the inhabitan​​ts of Canaan are melted away. 16 Terror and dread falleth upon them; by the greatness​​ of Thine arm they are as still as a stone; till Thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten. 17 Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritan​ce, the place, O LORD, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, the sanctuary​, O Lord, which Thy hands have establish​ed. 18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
