Exodus 15:1-18

The Song of Moses

1 Then Moses and the people of Israel ^asang this song to the Lord, saying,

^b“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider ^{▼▼Or its chariot; also verse 21} he has thrown into the sea.
2 ^dThe Lord is my strength and my ^esong,
and he has become ^fmy salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
^gmy father’s God, and ^hI will exalt him.
3 The Lord is ⁱa man of war;
^jthe Lord is his name.
4 ^k“Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen ^lofficers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The ^mfloods covered them;
they ⁿwent down into the depths like a stone.
6 ^oYour right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
your right hand, O Lord, ^pshatters the enemy.
7 In the ^qgreatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it ^rconsumes them like stubble.
8 At the ^sblast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the ^tfloods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, ^u‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I ^vwill divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You ^wblew with your wind; the ^xsea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.
11 ^y“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in ^zglorious deeds, ^aadoing wonders?
12 You stretched out ^abyour right hand;
the earth swallowed them.
13 “You have ^acled in your steadfast love the people whom ^adyou have redeemed;
you have ^aeguided them by your strength to your holy abode.
14 ^afThe peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Now are the chiefs of Edom ^agdismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of ^ahMoab;
^aiall the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
16 Terror and ^ajdread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still ^akas a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom ^alyou have purchased.
17 You will bring them in and ^amplant them on your own mountain,
the place, O Lord, which you have made for your abode,
^anthe sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
18 ^aoThe Lord will reign forever and ever.”

Deuteronomy 31:30

The Song of Moses

30 Then Moses spoke the words of this song until they were finished, in the ears of all the assembly of Israel:

Deuteronomy 32:1-43

1 “Give ear, ^apO heavens, and I will speak,
and let ^aqthe earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 May ^army teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and ^aslike showers upon the herb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe ^atgreatness to our God!
4 ^au“The Rock, ^avhis work is perfect,
for ^awall his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and ^axwithout iniquity,
just and upright is he.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children ^aybecause they are blemished;
they are ^aza crooked and twisted generation.
6 Do you thus repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^bayour father, who ^bbcreated you,
who ^bcmade you and established you?
7 ^bdRemember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
^beask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High ^bfgave to the nations their inheritance,
when he ^bgdivided mankind,
he fixed the borders ^{▼▼Or territories} of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God. ^{▼▼Compare Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text sons of Israel}
9 But the Lord’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
10 “He found him ^bjin a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he ^bkencircled him, he cared for him,
he ^blkept him as the apple of his eye.
11 ^bmLike an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 ^bnthe Lord alone guided him,
^bono foreign god was with him.
13 ^bpHe made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with ^bqhoney out of the rock,
and ^broil out of ^bsthe flinty rock.
14 Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat ^{▼▼That is, with the best} of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
with the very finest ^{▼▼Hebrew with the kidney fat} of the wheat—
and you drank foaming wine made from ^bvthe blood of the grape.
15 “But ^bwJeshurun grew fat, and ^bxkicked;
^byyou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
^bzthen he forsook God ^cawho made him
and scoffed at ^cbthe Rock of his salvation.
16 ^ccThey stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 ^cdThey sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to ^cenew gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of ^cfthe Rock that bore ^{▼▼Or fathered} you,
and you ^chforgot the God who gave you birth.
19 ^ci“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of ^cjhis sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, ^ck‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ^clThey have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger ^cmwith their idols.
So ^cnI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with ^coa foolish nation.
22 For ^cpa fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to ^cqthe depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
^crI will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send ^csthe teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of ^ctthings that crawl in the dust.
25 ^cuOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 ^cvI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
^cwI will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, ^cx“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is ^cyno understanding in them.
29 ^czIf they were wise, they would understand this;
they would ^dadiscern their latter end!
30 How could ^dbone have chased a thousand,
and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock ^dchad sold them,
and the Lord had given them up?
31 For ^ddtheir rock is not as our Rock;
^deour enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine ^dfcomes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of ^dgpoison;
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of ^dhserpents
and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
^disealed up in my treasuries?
35 ^djVengeance is mine, and recompense, ^{▼▼Septuagint and I will repay}
^dlfor the time when their foot shall slip;
for ^dmthe day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For ^dnthe Lord will vindicate ^{▼▼Septuagint judge} his people
^dpand have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, ^dqbond or free.
37 Then he will say, ^dr‘Where are their gods,
^dsthe rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that ^dtI, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
^duI kill and I make alive;
^dvI wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For ^dwI lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I ^dxsharpen my flashing sword ^{▼▼Hebrew the lightning of my sword}
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and ^dzmy sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the ^ealong-haired heads of the enemy.’
43 ^eb“Rejoice with him, O heavens; ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text Rejoice his people, O nations}
bow down to him, all gods, ^{▼▼Masoretic Text lacks bow down to him, all gods}
for he ^eeavenges the blood of his children ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text servants}
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text lacks He repays those who hate him}
and cleanses ^{▼▼Or atones for} his people’s land.” ^{▼▼Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew his land his people}
