1Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider[1] he has thrown into the sea. (出15:21; 士5:1; 撒下22:1; 诗106:12)2The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (出3:6; 出3:15; 申10:21; 撒下22:47; 诗18:1; 诗18:46; 诗34:3; 诗59:17; 诗99:5; 诗99:9; 诗109:1; 诗118:14; 诗118:28; 诗140:7; 诗145:1; 赛12:2; 赛25:1; 哈3:18)3The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name. (出3:15; 出6:3; 诗24:8; 诗83:18; 赛42:8; 玛3:6; 启19:11)4“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea, and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea. (出14:7; 出14:28)5The floods covered them; they went down into the depths like a stone. (出14:28; 出15:10; 尼9:11)6Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. (出15:12; 诗2:9; 诗118:15; 赛51:9; 启2:27)7In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble. (申33:26; 赛5:24; 赛47:14; 玛4:1)8At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea. (出14:21; 书3:16; 撒下22:16; 伯4:9; 诗18:15; 诗78:13; 哈3:10; 帖后2:8)9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’ (创49:27; 出14:9; 士5:30; 赛53:12; 路11:22)10You blew with your wind; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters. (出14:21; 出14:28; 出15:5; 赛11:15; 赛40:24)11“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? (申3:24; 撒上2:2; 撒下7:22; 王上8:23; 代下6:14; 诗77:14; 赛6:3; 耶10:6; 启4:8)12You stretched out your right hand; the earth swallowed them. (出15:6)13“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode. (诗77:15; 诗77:20; 诗78:54)14The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia. (民14:14; 申2:25; 书2:9; 书9:24)15Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away. (民22:3; 申2:4; 书2:9; 书2:11; 书2:24; 书5:1)16Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone, till your people, O Lord, pass by, till the people pass by whom you have purchased. (申2:25; 申11:25; 撒上25:37; 诗74:2; 彼前2:9)17You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. (诗44:2; 诗78:54; 诗80:8; 诗132:13; 耶32:41)18The Lord will reign forever and ever.” (诗10:16; 诗29:10; 诗45:6; 诗146:10; 启11:15)19For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. (出14:23; 出14:28)20Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. (出2:4; 民26:59; 士4:4; 士11:34; 撒上18:6; 王下22:14; 尼6:14; 诗68:25; 诗149:3; 诗150:4; 弥6:4; 路2:36)21And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.” (出15:1)
Bitter Water Made Sweet
22Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. (创16:7; 创25:18; 撒上15:7)23When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah.[2] (得1:20)24And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” (出16:2; 出17:3)25And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log,[3] and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the Lord[4] made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, (出14:10; 出16:4; 出17:4; 申8:2; 申8:16; 士2:22; 士3:1; 士3:4; 王下2:21; 王下4:41; 诗66:10)26saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” (出23:25; 利26:3; 申7:12; 申28:27; 申28:60; 诗103:3; 诗147:3; 何6:1)27Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
