1 Então cantou Moisés e os filhos de Israel este cântico ao SENHOR, e falaram, dizendo: Cantarei ao SENHOR, porque gloriosamente triunfou; lançou no mar o cavalo e o seu cavaleiro.

2 O Senhor é a minha força, e o meu cântico; ele me foi por salvação; este é o meu Deus, portanto lhe farei uma habitação; ele é o Deus de meu pai, por isso o exaltarei.

3 O Senhor é homem de guerra; o Senhor é o seu nome.

4 Lançou no mar os carros de Faraó e o seu exército; e os seus escolhidos príncipes afogaram-se no Mar Vermelho.

5 Os abismos os cobriram; desceram às profundezas como pedra.

6 A tua destra, ó Senhor, se tem glorificado em poder, a tua destra, ó Senhor, tem despedaçado o inimigo;

7 E com a grandeza da tua excelência derrubaste aos que se levantaram contra ti; enviaste o teu furor, que os consumiu como o restolho.

8 E com o sopro de tuas narinas amontoaram-se as águas, as correntes pararam como montão; os abismos coalharam-se no coração do mar.

9 O inimigo dizia: Perseguirei, alcançarei, repartirei os despojos; fartar-se-á a minha alma deles, arrancarei a minha espada, a minha mão os destruirá.

10 Sopraste com o teu vento, o mar os cobriu; afundaram-se como chumbo em veementes águas.

11 Ó Senhor, quem é como tu entre os deuses? Quem é como tu glorificado em santidade, admirável em louvores, realizando maravilhas?

12 Estendeste a tua mão direita; a terra os tragou.

13 Tu, com a tua beneficência, guiaste a este povo, que salvaste; com a tua força o levaste à habitação da tua santidade.

14 Os povos o ouviram, eles estremeceram, uma dor apoderou-se dos habitantes da Filístia.

15 Então os príncipes de Edom se pasmaram; dos poderosos dos moabitas apoderou-se um tremor; derreteram-se todos os habitantes de Canaã.

16 Espanto e pavor caiu sobre eles; pela grandeza do teu braço emudeceram como pedra; até que o teu povo houvesse passado, ó Senhor, até que passasse este povo que adquiriste.

17 Tu os introduzirás, e os plantarás no monte da tua herança, no lugar que tu, ó Senhor, aparelhaste para a tua habitação, no santuário, ó Senhor, que as tuas mãos estabeleceram.

18 O Senhor reinará eterna e perpetuamente;

19 Porque os cavalos de Faraó, com os seus carros e com os seus cavaleiros, entraram no mar, e o Senhor fez tornar as águas do mar sobre eles; mas os filhos de Israel passaram em seco pelo meio do mar.

20 Então Miriã, a profetisa, a irmã de Arão, tomou o tamboril na sua mão, e todas as mulheres saíram atrás dela com tamboris e com danças.

21 E Miriã lhes respondia: Cantai ao Senhor, porque gloriosamente triunfou; e lançou no mar o cavalo com o seu cavaleiro.

22 Depois fez Moisés partir os israelitas do Mar Vermelho, e saíram ao deserto de Sur; e andaram três dias no deserto, e não acharam água.

23 Então chegaram a Mara; mas não puderam beber das águas de Mara, porque eram amargas; por isso chamou-se o lugar Mara.

24 E o povo murmurou contra Moisés, dizendo: Que havemos de beber?

25 E ele clamou ao Senhor, e o Senhor mostrou-lhe uma árvore, que lançou nas águas, e as águas se tornaram doces. Ali lhes deu estatutos e uma ordenança, e ali os provou.

26 E disse: Se ouvires atento a voz do Senhor teu Deus, e fizeres o que é reto diante de seus olhos, e inclinares os teus ouvidos aos seus mandamentos, e guardares todos os seus estatutos, nenhuma das enfermidades porei sobre ti, que pus sobre o Egito; porque eu sou o Senhor que te sara.

27 Então vieram a Elim, e havia ali doze fontes de água e setenta palmeiras; e ali se acamparam junto das águas.

1 Then Moses and the children of Israel made this song to the Lord, and said, I will make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory: the horse and the horseman he has sent down into the sea.

2 The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.

3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

4 Pharaoh's war-carriages and his army he has sent down into the sea: the best of his captains have gone down into the Red Sea.

5 They were covered by the deep waters: like a stone they went down under the waves.

6 Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.

7 When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.

8 By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

9 Egypt said, I will go after them, I will overtake, I will make division of their goods: my desire will have its way with them; my sword will be uncovered, my hand will send destruction on them.

10 You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

11 Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?

12 When your right hand was stretched out, the mouth of the earth was open for them.

13 In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.

14 Hearing of you the peoples were shaking in fear: the people of Philistia were gripped with pain.

15 The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.

16 Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.

17 You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.

18 The Lord is King for ever and ever.

19 For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land.

20 And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

21 And Miriam, answering, said, Make a song to the Lord, for he is lifted up in glory; the horse and the horseman he has sent into the sea.

22 Then Moses took Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the waste land of Shur; and for three days they were in the waste land where there was no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.

24 And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?

25 And in answer to his prayer, the Lord made him see a tree, and when he put it into the water, the water was made sweet. There he gave them a law and an order, testing them;

26 And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.

27 And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.
