Israel sings the song of Moses—They extol the Lord as a man of war, and rejoice in their deliverance from Egypt—Waters of Marah healed—The Lord promises to free Israel from the diseases of Egypt.

 THEN ^asang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will ^bsing^• unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

 The ^aLORD^• is my ^bstrength and song, and he is become my ^csalvation: he is my God, and I will ^dprepare^• him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will ^eexalt^• him.

 The LORD is a man of ^awar: the LORD is his ^bname^•.

 Pharaoh’s ^achariots^• and his host hath he ^bcast^• into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the ^cRed^• sea.

 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a ^astone^•.

 Thy ^aright^{• b}hand^•, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

 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 ^astubble^•.

 And with the blast of thy nostrils the ^awaters^• were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an ^bheap^•, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

 The enemy said, I will ^apursue^•, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my ^blust^• shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

 Who is ^alike^• unto thee, O ^bLORD^•, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in ^choliness, ^dfearful^• in praises, doing wonders?

 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

 Thou in thy mercy hast ^aled^• forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

 The people shall ^ahear^•, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of ^bPalestina^•.

 Then the ^adukes^• of ^bEdom^• shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall ^cmelt^• away.

 ^aFear^• and ^bdread^• shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast ^cpurchased^•.

 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the ^aSanctuary^•, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

 The ^aLORD^• shall reign for ever and ever.

 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

 ¶ And ^aMiriam^• the ^bprophetess^•, the ^csister^• of Aaron, took a ^dtimbrel^• in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

 And Miriam answered them, ^aSing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of ^aShur^•; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

 ¶ And when they came to ^aMarah^•, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

 And the people ^amurmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the ^awaters^• were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he ^bproved^• them,

 And said, If thou wilt ^adiligently ^bhearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and ^ckeep^• all his statutes, I will put none of these ^ddiseases^• upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that ^ehealeth thee.

 ¶ And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and ^athreescore^• and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
