#975 - Exodus 15 – The Song of Moses and Miriam

So what happened last time? The Egyptians were destroyed in the Red Sea.

God was victorious, and the only appropriate thing to do at this point is to sing.

And so the Song of Moses and Miriam.

"Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: 'I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted.

Both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.

The Lord is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him.

The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has hurled into the sea.

The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power.

Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.

In the greatness of your majesty, you threw down those who opposed you.

You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.

By the blast of your nostrils, the waters piled up.

The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy boasted, "I will pursue, I will overtake them.

I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them.

I will draw my sword, and my hand will destroy them." But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them.

They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you-- majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? You stretched out your right hand, and the earth swallows up your enemies.

In your unfailing love, you will lead the people you have redeemed.

In your strength, you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

The nations will hear and tremble.
