The Song of Moses and Miriam

¹ Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted.
    Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.

² The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.
    He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

³ The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.

⁴ Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea.

  The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.

⁵ The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.

⁶ Your right hand, LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, LORD, shattered the enemy.

⁷ In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you.

   You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.

⁸ By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up.
  The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.

⁹ The enemy boasted, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils;
   I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.

¹⁰ But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

David’s Song of Praise

¹ David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his    

  enemies and from the hand of Saul.

² He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

³ My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation.
   He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior from violent people you save me.

⁴ “I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.

⁵ The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

⁶ The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

⁷ “In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice;
   my cry came to his ears.

⁸ The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.

⁹ Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

¹⁰ He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

Hannah’s Song

¹ Then Hannah prayed and said:  “My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
   My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.

² “There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

     and by him deeds are weighed.

⁴ “The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.

⁵ Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were hungry hunger no more.
    She who was barren has borne seven children, but she who has had many sons pines away.

⁶ “The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.

⁷ The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

⁸ He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them  

    inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; upon them he has set the world.

⁹ He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. “It is not by strength that one  

   prevails;

¹⁰ those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder against them from heaven; the LORD will

     judge the ends of the earth. “He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

³ You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.

⁴ Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

  the dust.

⁶ Feet trample it down the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor.

⁷ The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.

⁸ Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our

   hearts.
