Exodus 14:30–31
Hebrew
וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד מִצְרַיִם וַיַּרְא
יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־מִצְרַיִם מֵת עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם: וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל
אֶת־הַיָּד הַגְּדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה בְּמִצְרַיִם וַיִּירְאוּ הָעָם
אֶת־יְהוָה וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בַּיהוָה וּבְמֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ:

vayosha Adonai bayom hahu et-yisra-el miyad Mitzrayim vayar
Yisra-el et-mitzrayim met al-s'fat hayam: vayar Yisra-el
et-hayad hagdolah asher asah Adonai b'Mitzrayim vayireu ha-am
et-adonai vaya-aminu badonai uvmosheh avdo:
English
On that day Adonai saved the people Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore of the sea. When Israel saw the mighty arm that Adonai had wielded against the Egyptians, the people revered Adonai and had faith in Adonai and in Moses, God’s servant.
שִׁירַת הַיָּם

THE SONG AT THE SEA

Hebrew
אָז יָשִׁיר־מֹשֶׁה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת לַיהוָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ
לֵאמֹר אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה כִּי־גָאֹה גָּאָה סוּס
וְרֹכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּם: עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּ וַיְהִי־לִי
לִישׁוּעָה זֶה אֵלִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ אֱלֹהֵי
אָבִי וַאֲרֹמְמֶנְהוּ: יְהוָה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה יְהוָה
שְׁמוֹ: מַרְכְּבֹת פַּרְעֹה וְחֵילוֹ יָרָה בַיָּם וּמִבְחַר
שָׁלִשָׁיו טֻבְּעוּ בְיַם־סוּף: תְּהֹמֹת יְכַסְיֻמוּ יָרְדוּ בִמְצוֹלֹת כְּמוֹ־
אָבֶן: יְמִינְךָ יְהוָה נֶאְדָּרִי בַּכֹּחַ יְמִינְךָ
יְהוָה תִּרְעַץ אוֹיֵב: וּבְרֹב גְּאוֹנְךָ תַּהֲרֹס
קָמֶיךָ תְּשַׁלַּח חֲרֹנְךָ יֹאכְלֵמוֹ כַּקַּשׁ: וּבְרוּחַ
אַפֶּיךָ נֶעֶרְמוּ מַיִם נִצְּבוּ כְמוֹ־נֵד
נֹזְלִים קָפְאוּ תְהֹמֹת בְּלֶב־יָם: אָמַר
אוֹיֵב אֶרְדֹּף אַשִּׂיג אֲחַלֵּק שָׁלָל תִּמְלָאֵמוֹ
נַפְשִׁי אָרִיק חַרְבִּי תּוֹרִישֵׁמוֹ יָדִי: נָשַׁפְתָּ
בְרוּחֲךָ כִּסָּמוֹ יָם צָלֲלוּ כַּעוֹפֶרֶת בְּמַיִם
אַדִּירִים: מִי־כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם יְהוָה מִי
כָּמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ נוֹרָא תְהִלֹּת עֹשֵׂה
פֶלֶא: נָטִיתָ יְמִינְךָ תִּבְלָעֵמוֹ אָרֶץ: נָחִיתָ
בְחַסְדְּךָ עַם־זוּ גָּאָלְתָּ נֵהַלְתָּ בְעָזְּךָ אֶל־נְוֵה

Then Moses and the people Israel sang this song to Adonai: I will sing to Adonai, who has triumphed gloriously, who cast horse and rider into the sea. Adonai is my strength and my might; God is my deliverance. This is my God, to whom I give glory—the God of my ancestors, whom I exalt. Adonai is a warrior; God’s name is Adonai. God has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and army into the sea; Pharaoh’s choicest captains have drowned in the Sea of Reeds. The depths covered them; they sank in the deep like a stone. Your right hand, Adonai, singular in strength—Your right hand, Adonai, shatters the enemy. With Your majestic might You crush Your foes; You let loose Your fury, to consume them like straw. In the rush of Your rage the waters were raised; the sea stood motionless, the great deep congealed. The enemy said: “I will pursue, I will capture and plunder! I will devour them, I will draw my sword. With my bare hands will I dispatch them.” You loosed the wind—the sea covered them. Like lead, they sank in the swelling waters. Who is like You, Adonai, among the mighty? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awe-inspiring in splendor, working wonders? You stretched out Your hand—the earth swallowed them. In Your love You lead the people You redeemed; with Your strength You guide them to Your holy habitation.
