In the greatness of your majesty

You overthrew all those who rose against you.

You sent forth your anger, and it consumed them as fire consumes straw.

At the blast of your breath

The waters divided!

They stood as solid walls to hold the seas apart.

The enemy said, “I will chase after them,

Catch up with them, destroy them.

I will cut them apart with my sword

And divide the captured booty.”

The surging waters stood up like a wall;(F)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(G)
The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,(H) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(I)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
