Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song unto the LORD and
said: Let us sing unto the LORD, for he is become glorious, the horse
and him that rode upon him hath he overthrown in the sea. The LORD is
my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. He is my God and I
will glorify him, he is my father's God and I will lift him up on high.
{an hie} The LORD is a man of war, Iehouah is his name: Pharao's
chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea. His jolly captains are
drowned in the redde {reed} sea, the deep waters have covered them:
they sank to the bottom as a stone. Thine hand LORD is glorious in
power, thine hand LORD hath all to dashed the enemy. And with thy great
glory thou hast destroyed thine adversaries, thou sentest forth thy
wrath and it consumed them, even as stubble. With the breath of thine
anger the water gathered together and the floods stood still as a rock,
and the deep water congealed together in the middest of the sea. The
enemy said: I will follow and overtake them, and will divide the spoil:
I will satisfy my lust upon them: I will draw my sword, and mine hand
shall destroy them. Thou blewest with thy breath and the sea covered
them, and they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee

the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint hearted. Let fear and dread fall
upon them thorow the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still
as a stone, while thy people pass thorow o LORD, while the people pass
thorow, which thou hast gotten. Bring them in and plant them in the
mountains of thine inheritance, the place LORD {Lorde} which thou hast
made for to dwell in, the sanctuary Lord, which thy hands have
prepared. The LORD reign ever and allway. For Pharao went in on
horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea, and the LORD
brought the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Israel
went on dry land thorow the middest of the sea. And Miriam a prophetess
the sister of Aaron took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women came
out after her with timbrels in a dance. And Miriam sang before them:
sing ye unto the LORD, for he is become glorious indeed: the horse and
his rider hath he overthrown in the sea. Moses brought Israel from the
redde {reed} sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Sur. And
they went three days long in the wilderness, and could find no water.
