⁸ The water heaped up^(A) at the blast from your nostrils;
the currents stood firm like a dam.
The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

¹¹ You divided the sea before them,
and they crossed through it on dry ground.^(A)
You hurled their pursuers into the depths
like a stone into raging water.^(B)

¹³ You divided the sea with your strength;
you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the water;^(A)

⁵ Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?^(A)

¹² He made his glorious strength
available at the right hand of Moses,
divided the water before them^(A)
to make an eternal name for himself,
¹³ and led them through the depths
like a horse in the wilderness,
so that they did not stumble.
