Exodus 15:3-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. The Lord goes into battle. The Lord is his name.

4. He has thrown Pharaoh's chariots and army into the Red Sea. Pharaoh's best officers drowned in the sea.

5. The deep waters covered them. They sank to the bottom like a stone.

6. "Lord, your right hand was majestic and powerful. Lord, your right hand destroyed your enemies.

7. Because of your great majesty, you threw down those who opposed you. Your burning anger blazed out. It burned them up like straw.

8. 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.

9. "Your enemies bragged, 'We will chase Israel. We 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.'
