Yom Sh'vi-i shel Pesach

14:30] Thus the Eternal delivered Israel that day from the Egyptians. Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea. 31] And when Israel saw the wondrous power which the Eternal had wielded against the Egyptians, the people feared the Eternal; they had faith in the Eternal and in God’s servant Moses.

15:1] Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Eternal. They said:

I will sing to the Eternal, for He has triumphed gloriously;

Horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.

2] The Eternal is my strength and might;

He is become my deliverance.

This is my God and I will enshrine Him;

The God of my ancestors, and I will exalt Him.

3] The Eternal, the Warrior—

Eternal One is His name!

4] Pharaoh’s chariots and his army

He has cast into the sea;

And the pick of his officers

Are drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

5] The deeps covered them;

They went down into the depths like a stone.

6] Your right hand, Eternal One, glorious in power,

Your right hand, Eternal One, shatters the foe!

7] In Your great triumph You break Your opponents;

You send forth Your fury, it consumes them like straw.

8] At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up,

The floods stood straight like a wall;

The deeps froze in the heart of the sea.

9] The foe said,

“I will pursue, I will overtake,

I will divide the spoil;

My desire shall have its fill of them.

I will bare my sword—

My hand shall subdue them.”

10] You made Your wind blow, the sea covered them;

They sank like lead in the majestic waters.

11] Who is like You, Eternal One, among the celestials;

Who is like You, majestic in holiness,

Awesome in splendor, working wonders!

12] You put out Your right hand,

The earth swallowed them.

13] In Your love You lead the people You redeemed;

In Your strength You guide them to Your holy abode.

14] The peoples hear, they tremble;

Agony grips the dwellers in Philistia.

15] Now are the clans of Edom dismayed;

The tribes of Moab—trembling grips them;

All the dwellers in Canaan are aghast.

16] Terror and dread descend upon them;

Through the might of Your arm they are still as stone—

Till Your people cross over, Eternal One,

Till Your people cross whom You have ransomed.

17] You will bring them and plant them in Your own mountain,

The place You made to dwell in, Eternal One,

The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands established.

18] The Eternal will reign for ever and ever!

19] For the horses of Pharaoh, with his chariots and riders, went into the sea; and the Eternal turned back on them the waters of the sea; but the Israelites marched on dry ground in the midst of the sea.

20] Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, picked up a hand-drum, and all the women went out after her in dance with hand-drums. 21] And Miriam chanted for them:

Sing to the Eternal, for He has triumphed gloriously;
