1
Then sang Miriam, the sister of Moses, and the daughters of Israel, this song unto YHVHa and spake, saying:
2
¶ I will sing unto YHVH for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
3
YHVH is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation; He is my Goda, and I will prepare Him a habitation, Elohimb of my father and my mothers, and I will exalt Him.
4
YHVH is a Man of war; YHVH is His name.
5
The chariots and the host of Pharaoh hath He cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Sea.
6
The depths have covered them; they sank into the bottom as a stone.
7
Thy right handa, O YHVH, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O YHVH, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
8
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee; thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
9
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
10
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.
11
Thou didst blow with thy wind; the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
12
Who is like unto thee, O YHVH, among the godsa? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
13
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them.
14
Thou, in thy mercy, hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed; thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
15
The people shall hear and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
16
Then the dukesa of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling, shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away, and fear and dread shall fall upon them.
17
Yea, the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O YHVH, till the people which thou hast purchased pass by.
18
Thou shalt bring them in and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O YHVH, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in—in the sanctuary, O YHVH which thy hands have established.
19
YHVH shall reign forever and ever.
20
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHVH brought again the waters of the sea upon them;
21
But Thy children, Israel, went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
22
¶ And the prophetess of YHVH, Miriam, sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
23
And Zipporah led the daughters of Israel in song, and thy sang: Sing ye to YHVH, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
