He is my God,^(G) and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt^(H) him.
³ The Lord is a warrior;^(I)
    the Lord is his name.^(J)
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army^(K)
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.^[b]
5 The deep waters^(L) have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.^(M)
6 Your right hand,^(N) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,^(O) Lord,
    shattered^(P) the enemy.

⁷ “In the greatness of your majesty^(Q)
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;^(R)
    it consumed^(S) them like stubble.
⁸ By the blast of your nostrils^(T)
    the waters piled up.^(U)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;^(V)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.^(W)
9 The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,^(X) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;^(Y)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,^(Z)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.^(AA)
11 Who among the gods
    is like you,^(AB) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,^(AC)
awesome in glory,^(AD)
    working wonders?^(AE)

¹² “You stretch out^(AF) your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.^(AG)

15 The chiefs^(AN) of Edom^(AO) will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,^(AP)
the people^[c] of Canaan will melt^(AQ) away;
¹⁶     terror^(AR) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone^(AS)—
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought^[d](AT) pass by.^(AU)
17 You will bring^(AV) them in and plant^(AW) them
    on the mountain^(AX) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,^(AY)
    the sanctuary,^(AZ) Lord, your hands established.

¹⁸ “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”^(BA)

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver^(BI)
    he has hurled into the sea.”^(BJ)

² The Lord is my rock,^(C) my fortress^(D) and my deliverer;^(E)
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,^(F)
    my shield^[b](G) and the horn^[c] of my salvation,^(H) my stronghold.

³ I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,^(I)
    and I have been saved from my enemies.^(J)
4 The cords of death^(K) entangled me;

    the snares of death^(M) confronted me.

⁶ In my distress^(N) I called to the Lord;^(O)
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;^(P)
    my cry came^(Q) before him, into his ears.
⁷ The earth trembled^(R) and quaked,^(S)
    and the foundations of the mountains shook;^(T)
    they trembled because he was angry.^(U)
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;^(V)
    consuming fire^(W) came from his mouth,
    burning coals^(X) blazed out of it.
⁹ He parted the heavens and came down;^(Y)
    dark clouds^(Z) were under his feet.
¹⁰ He mounted the cherubim^(AA) and flew;
    he soared^(AB) on the wings of the wind.^(AC)
11 He made darkness his covering,^(AD) his canopy^(AE) around him—
    the dark rain clouds of the sky.
¹² Out of the brightness of his presence^(AF) clouds advanced,
    with hailstones^(AG) and bolts of lightning.^(AH)
13 The Lord thundered^(AI) from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded.^[d]
14 He shot his arrows^(AJ) and scattered the enemy,
    with great bolts of lightning^(AK) he routed them.^(AL)
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
    and the foundations^(AM) of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke,^(AN) Lord,
    at the blast of breath from your nostrils.^(AO)

¹⁶ He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
    he drew me out of deep waters.^(AP)
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,^(AQ)

19 He brought me out into a spacious place;^(AU)
    he rescued me because he delighted in me.^(AV)

²⁰ The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;^(AW)
    according to the cleanness of my hands^(AX) he has rewarded me.^(AY)
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;^(AZ)
    I am not guilty of turning^(BA) from my God.
²² All his laws are before me;^(BB)
    I have not turned away from his decrees.
²³ I have been blameless^(BC) before him
    and have kept myself from sin.
²⁴ The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,^(BD)
    according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

²⁵ To the faithful^(BE) you show yourself faithful,^(BF)
    to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
²⁶ to the pure^(BG) you show yourself pure,
    but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.^(BH)
27 You save the humble^(BI)
    but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.^(BJ)
28 You, Lord, keep my lamp^(BK) burning;
    my God turns my darkness into light.^(BL)
29 With your help^(BM) I can advance against a troop^[e];
    with my God I can scale a wall.

³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect:^(BN)
    The Lord’s word is flawless;^(BO)
    he shields^(BP) all who take refuge^(BQ) in him.
³¹ For who is God besides the Lord?^(BR)
    And who is the Rock^(BS) except our God?
³² It is God who arms me with strength^(BT)
    and keeps my way secure.^(BU)
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;^(BV)
    he causes me to stand on the heights.^(BW)
34 He trains my hands for battle;^(BX)
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains^(BY) me;
    your help has made me great.
³⁶ You provide a broad path^(BZ) for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.^(CA)

³⁷ I pursued my enemies^(CB) and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
³⁸ I crushed them^(CC) so that they could not rise;^(CD)
    they fell beneath my feet.^(CE)
39 You armed me with strength^(CF) for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries^(CG) before me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies turn their backs^(CH) in flight,
    and I destroyed^(CI) my foes.
⁴¹ They cried for help, but there was no one to save them^(CJ)—
    to the Lord, but he did not answer.^(CK)
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;^(CL)
    I trampled them^[f] like mud in the streets.
⁴³ You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
    you have made me the head of nations.^(CM)
People I did not know^(CN) now serve me,
⁴⁴     foreigners^(CO) cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
⁴⁵ They all lose heart;^(CP)
    they come trembling^(CQ) from their strongholds.^(CR)

⁴⁶ The Lord lives!^(CS) Praise be to my Rock!^(CT)
    Exalted be God^(CU) my Savior!^(CV)
47 He is the God who avenges^(CW) me,
    who subdues nations^(CX) under me,
⁴⁸     who saves^(CY) me from my enemies.^(CZ)
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man^(DA) you rescued me.
⁴⁹ Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;^(DB)
    I will sing^(DC) the praises of your name.^(DD)

⁵⁰ He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,^(DE)
    to David^(DF) and to his descendants forever.^(DG)

“My soul glorifies the Lord^(B)
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,^(C)
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.^(D)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,^(E)
49     for the Mighty One has done great things^(F) for me—
    holy is his name.^(G)
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.^(H)
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;^(I)
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.^(J)
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.^(K)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things^(L)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful^(M)
55 to Abraham and his descendants^(N) forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”
