Because of your great majesty,
    you threw down those who opposed you.
Your burning anger blazed out.
    It burned them up like straw.
The powerful blast from your nose
    piled up the waters.
The rushing waters stood firm like a wall.
    The deep waters stood up in the middle of the sea.

“Your enemies bragged,
    ‘We will chase Israel and will catch them.
We’ll divide up what we take from them.
    We’ll eat them alive.
We’ll pull our swords out.
    Our powerful hands will destroy them.’

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
