1   Then ^note sang ^note Moses and the children of Israel this song vnto the Lord, and sayd in this maner, I will sing vnto the Lorde: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and him that rode vpon him hath he ouerthrowen in the Sea.

2   The Lord is my strength and ^note praise, and he is become my saluation. He is my God, and I will ^note prepare him a tabernacle. he is my fathers God, and I will exalt him.

3   The Lord is a ^note man of warre, his ^note Name is Iehouah.

4   Pharaohs charets and his host hath he cast into the Sea: his chosen captaines also were drowned in the red Sea.

5   The depths haue couered them, they sanke to the bottome as a stone.

6   Thy ^note right hande, O Lorde, is glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lorde, hath brused the enemie.

7   And in thy great glorie thou hast ouerthrowen them that rose against ^note thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as the stubble.

8   And by the blast of thy nostrels the waters were gathered, the floods stoode still as an heape,

A song of deliuerance. the depthes congealed together in the ^note heart of the Sea.

9   The enemie sayd, I wil pursue, I wil ouertake them, I will deuide the spoyle, ^note my lust shall bee satisfied vpon them, I will drawe my sworde, mine hand shall destroy them.

10   Thou blewest with thy winde, the Sea couered them, they sanke as leade in the mightie waters.

11   Who is like vnto thee, O Lord, among the ^note Gods! who is like thee so glorious in holinesse, ^note fearefull in prayses, doing wonders!

12   Thou stretchedst out thy right hande, the earth swallowed them.

13   Thou wilt by thy mercie cary this people, which thou deliueredst: thou wilt bring them in thy strength vnto thine holy ^note habitation.

14   The people shal heare and be afraide: sorow shal come vpon the inhabitants of Palestina.

15   Then the dukes of Edom shalbe amased, & trembling shall come vpon the great men of Moab: all the inhabitantes of Canaan shall waxe faint hearted.

16    ^noteFeare and dread shall fall vpon them: because of the ^note greatnesse of thine arme, they shalbe stil as a stone, till thy people passe, O Lord: til this people passe, which thou hast purchased.

17   Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountaine of thine ^note inheritance, which is the place that thou hast prepared, O Lord, for to dwell in, euen the sanctuarie, O Lord, which thine hands shall establish.

18   The Lord shall reigne for euer and euer.

19   For Pharaohs horses went with his charets and horsemen into the Sea, and the Lorde brought the waters of the Sea vpon them: but the children of Israel went on drie land in the middes of the Sea.

20   ¶2; And Miriam the prophetesse, sister of Aaron tooke a timbrell in her hande, and all the women came out after her with timbrels and ^note daunces.

21   And Miriam ^note answered the men, Sing yee vnto the Lord: for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath hee ouerthrowen in the Sea.

22   Then Moses brought Israel from the redde Sea, and they went out into the wildernesse of ^note Shur: and they went three dayes in the wildernesse, and found no waters.

23   And wh&ebar; they came to Marah, they could not drinke of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of the place was called ^note Marah.

24   Then the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drinke?

25   And he cried vnto the Lord, and the Lord shewed him a ^note tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were sweete: there he made them an ordinance and a law, and there ^note he proued them,

26   And sayd, if thou wilt diligently hearken, O Israel, vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that, which is ^note right in his sight, and wilt giue eare vnto his commaundementes, and keepe all his ordinances, then will I put none of these diseases vpon thee, which I brought vpon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

27   ¶2; ^note And they came to Elim, where were Murmuring. Quailes. Manna. twelue fountaines of water, and seuentie ^note palme trees, and they camped thereby the waters.
