¹⁶ The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke^(A) of the Lord,
    at the blast^(B) of breath from his nostrils.

⁹ He rebuked^(A) the Red Sea, and it dried up;^(B)
    he led them through^(C) the depths as through a desert.

² When I came, why was there no one?
    When I called, why was there no one to answer?^(A)
Was my arm too short^(B) to deliver you?
    Do I lack the strength^(C) to rescue you?
By a mere rebuke^(D) I dry up the sea,^(E)
    I turn rivers into a desert;^(F)
their fish rot for lack of water
    and die of thirst.
