The children of Israel
are safe; their hero Moses has led them to safety; their God is again a mighty
God; He delivered from the host of the army of Egypt . Not only that he destroyed
the enemy in the process; so now they are happy. They are no longer regretting having left Egypt ; and now
the heart is full, and they break into song.
“I will
sing unto the Lord; for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse and the rider
has He thrown into the sea. The Lord is
my strength and song, and He is become my salvation; He is my God, and I will
prepare Him an habitation; He is my God and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His
name. Pharaoh’s chariots and his hosts
has He cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea .
The depths
have covered them; they sank into the bottom as a stone. Thy right hand O Lord
has become glorious in power; Thy right hand O Lord has dashed in pieces the
enemy. And in the greatness of thine Excellency thou has overthrown them that
rose up against Thee. Thou send forth Thy wrath which consumed them as stubble.
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.
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, and my hand shall destroy them; but
Thou blew with Thy wind; the sea covered them, and they sank as lead in the
mighty waters.” More.
