Let us continue to look at the song of praise and
deliverance, the Song of the Redeemed, as it is sometimes called, because of
the pivotal part if plays in the overall saga of the Exodus They sang of the
Lord, Mighty, Glorious, Triumphant, a great leader in war; and on and on they
sang.
“Who is
like unto Thee O Lord, among the gods? Who is like unto Thee, Glorious in
Holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Thou stretches out Thy right hand, and the earth swallowed them. Thou in Thy mercy has led forth the people
whom Thou has redeemed; Thou has guided them in the strength of Thy holy
habitation. The people shall hear, and
be afraid; sorrow shall take hold of the inhabitants of Philistia .
Then the chiefs of Edom
shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab ,
trembling shall take hold of them; all the inhabitants of Canaan
shall melt away. Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of Thy
arm they shall be as still as a stone; till Thy people shall pass over; O Lord
till thy people shall pass over; whom thou has purchased. Thou shall bring them in and plant them in
the mountain of Thine inheritance, the place, O Lord which Thou has made for
Thee to dwell in; in the sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hand have established.
The Lord shall reign forever 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 Miriam
the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the
women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam
urged them, “Sing ye to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse
and his rider has He thrown into the sea.”
