6 1Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, your right hand, O LORD, 2shatters the enemy.
7 In the 3greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it 4consumes them like stubble.
8 At the 5blast of your nostrils the waters piled up; the 6floods stood up in a heap; the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, 7'I will pursue, I will overtake, I 8will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.'
10 You 9blew with your wind; the 10sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 11"Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in 12glorious deeds, 13doing wonders?
12 You stretched out 14your right hand; the earth swallowed them.
13 "You have 15led in your steadfast love the people whom 16you have redeemed; you have 17guided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 18The peoples have heard; they tremble; pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom 19dismayed; trembling seizes the leaders of 20Moab; 21all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and 22dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still 23as a stone, till your people, O LORD, pass by, till the people pass by whom 24you have purchased.
