Exodus 15:3-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

3. The Lord is a great warrior.The Lord is his name.

4. The chariots and soldiers of the king of Egypthe has thrown into the sea.The king’s best officersare drowned in the Red Sea.

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

6. Your right hand, Lord,is amazingly strong.Lord, your right handbroke the enemy into pieces.

7. In your great victoryyou destroyed those who were against you.Your anger destroyed them,like fire burning straw.

8. Just a blast of your breath,and the waters were blown back.The moving water stood up like a wall.And the deep waters became solid in the middle of the sea.

9. “The enemy bragged,‘I’ll chase them and catch them.I’ll take all their riches.I’ll take all I want.I’ll pull out my sword,and my hand will destroy them.’

10. But you blew on them with your breathand covered them with the sea.They sank like leadin the powerful water.

11. “Are there any gods like you, Lord?No! There are no gods like you.You are wonderfully holy.You are amazingly powerful.You do great miracles.

12. You reached out with your right hand,and the earth swallowed our enemies.

13. You keep your loving promise.You lead the people you have saved.With your strength you will guide themto your holy land.

14. “The other nations will hear this and tremble with fear.Terror will take hold of the Philistines.

15. The leaders of the tribes of Edom will be very frightened.The powerful men of Moab will shake with fear.The people of Canaan will lose all their courage.

16. Those people will be filled with fear.When they see your strength,they will be as still as a rock.They will be still until your people pass by, Lord.They will be still until the people you have bought from slavery pass by.

17. You will lead your people and place themon your very own mountain.Lord, that is the place that you made for yourself to live.Lord, that is the temple that your hands have made.
