The Song of Moses

[Mayacaman]

The *Song *of *Moses

(Deuteronomy 32)

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew,
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass:

Because I will publish the name of the LORD:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

He is the Rock, his work is perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is he.

They have corrupted themselves,
their spot is not the spot of his children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.

Do ye thus requite the LORD,
O foolish people and unwise?
is not he thy father that hath bought thee?
hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations:
ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee.

When the most High divided
to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the sons of Adam,
he set the bounds of the people according
to the number of the children of Israel.

For the LORD'S portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

He found him in a desert land,
and in the waste howling wilderness;
he led him about, he instructed him,
he kept him as the apple of his eye.

As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings,
taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

So the LORD alone did lead him,
and there was no strange god with him.

He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
that he might eat the increase of the fields;
and he made him to suck honey out of the rock,
and oil out of the flinty rock;

Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs,
and rams of the breed of Bashan,
and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:
thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick,
thou art covered with fatness;
then he forsook God which made him,
and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods,
with abominations provoked they him to anger.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God;
to gods whom they knew not,
to new gods that came newly up,
whom your fathers feared not.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

And when the LORD saw it,
he abhorred them,
because of the provoking of his sons,
and of his daughters.

And he said, I will hide my face from them,
I will see what their end shall be:
for they are a very froward generation,
children in whom is no faith.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
they have provoked me to anger with their vanities:
and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

For a fire is kindled in mine anger,
and shall burn unto the lowest hell,
and shall consume the earth with her increase,
and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

I will heap mischiefs upon them;
I will spend mine arrows upon them.

They shall be burnt with hunger,
and devoured with burning heat,
and with bitter destruction:
I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,
with the poison of serpents of the dust.

The sword without, and terror within,
shall destroy both the young man and the virgin,
the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

I said, I would scatter them into corners,
I would make the remembrance of them
to cease from among men:

Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy,
lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely,
and lest they should say, Our hand is high,
and the LORD hath not done all this.

For they are a nation void of counsel,
neither is there any understanding in them.

O that they were wise, that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end!

How should one chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight,
except their Rock had sold them,
and the LORD had shut them up?

For their rock is not as our Rock,
even our enemies themselves being judges.

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
and of the fields of Gomorrah:
their grapes are grapes of gall,
their clusters are bitter:

Their wine is the poison of dragons,
and the cruel venom of asps.

Is not this laid up in store with me,
and sealed up among my treasures?

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;
their foot shall slide in due time:
for the day of their calamity is at hand, and

the things that shall come upon them make haste.

For the LORD shall judge his people,
and repent himself for his servants,
when he seeth that their power is gone,
and there is none shut up, or left.

And he shall say, Where are their gods,
their rock in whom they trusted,

Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?
let them rise up and help you,
and be your protection.

See now that I, even I, am he,
and there is no god with me:
I kill, and I make alive;
I wound, and I heal:
neither is there any
that can deliver out of my hand.

For I lift up my hand to heaven,
and say, I live for ever.

If I whet my glittering sword,
and mine hand take hold on judgment;
I will render vengeance to mine enemies,
and will reward them that hate me.

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,
and my sword shall devour flesh;
and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,
from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:
for he will avenge the blood of his servants,
and will render vengeance to his adversaries,
and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

The * Song * of * MOSHEH

(Deuteronomy 32)

Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And hear, O earth, The words of my mouth.

Let my instruction fall as rain, My speech drop down as dew, As fine rain on the tender plants, And as showers on the grass.

For I proclaim the Name of yahuah, Ascribe greatness to our Elohiym.

The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are right-ruling, An Ěl of truth and without unrighteousness, Righteous and straight is He.

A twisted and crooked generation has corrupted itself, Their blemish, they are not His children.

Do you do this to yahuah, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who bought you, Who created you and established you?

Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father and let him show you, Your elders, and let them say to you:

When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance When He separated the sons of Aḏam, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl.

For the portion of yahuah is His people, Ya‛aqoḇ His allotted inheritance.

He found him in a wilderness, And in a wasted, howling desert. He encompassed him, He made him understand, He watched over him as the apple of His eye.

As an eagle stirs up its nest, Flutters over its young, Spreading out its wings, taking them up, Bearing them on its wings.

yahuah alone led him, And there was no strange mighty one with him.

He made him ride in the heights of the earth, And he ate the fruit of the fields, And He made him to draw honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock,

Curds from the cattle, And milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, And goats, with the choicest wheat; And you drank wine, the blood of the grapes.

But Yeshurun grew fat and kicked; You grew fat, you grew thick, You are covered with fat; So he forsook Eloah who made him, And scorned the Rock of his deliverance.

They moved Him to jealousy with foreign matters, With abominations they provoked Him.

They slaughtered to demons – not Eloah – Mighty ones they did not know, New ones who came lately, Which your fathers did not fear.

You neglected the Rock who brought you forth, And forgot the Ěl who fathered you.

And yahuah saw, and despised, Because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.

And He said, ‘Let Me hide My face from them, Let Me see what their end is, For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom there is no trusting.

They made Me jealous by what is not Ěl, They provoked Me with their worthless matters. But I make them jealous by those who are no people, I provoke them with a foolish nation.

For a fire was kindled in My wrath And burns to the bottom of She’ol, And consumes the earth and its increase, And sets on fire the foundations of mountains.

I gather evils upon them, I use up My arrows upon them –

Wasted by scarcity of food, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction, And the teeth of beasts I send upon them, With the poison of serpents of the dust.

The sword bereaves from the outside, And fear from within, Both young man and maiden, Nursing child with the man of grey hairs.

I said, ‘I should blow them away, I should make the remembrance of them To cease from among men,

‘If I did not fear the enemy’s taunt, Lest their adversaries misunderstand, Lest they say, “Our hand is high, And yahuah has not done all this.” ’

For they are a nation lost to counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

If they were wise, They would understand this, They would consider their latter end!

How would one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And yahuah had given them up?

For their rock is not like our Rock – Even our enemies are judges.

Their vine is of the vine of Seḏom And of the fields of Amorah; Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.

Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the fierce venom of cobras.

‘Is it not stored up with Me, Sealed up among My treasures?

‘Vengeance is Mine, and repayment, At the time their foot slips; For near is the day of their calamity, And the matters prepared are hastening to them.’

For yahuah rightly rules His people And has compassion on His servants, When He sees that their power is gone, And there is no one remaining, Shut up or at large.

And He shall say, ‘Where are their mighty ones, The rock in whom they sought refuge?

‘Who ate the fat of their slaughterings, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding-place for you!

‘See now that I, I am He, And there is no ElohiYm besides Me. I put to death and I make alive. I have wounded, and I heal. And from My hand no one delivers!

‘For I lift My hand to the heavens, And shall say: As I live forever,

‘If I have sharpened My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on judgment, I shall return vengeance to My enemies, And repay those who hate Me.

‘I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired enemy chiefs.’

O nations, acclaim His people! For He avenges the blood of His servants, And returns vengeance to His adversaries, And shall pardon His land, His people.

The Song of Deborah and Barak


Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam
on that day, saying,

For that the leaders took the lead in Israel,
for that the people offered themselves willingly,
bless ye the LORD.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes;
I, even I, will sing unto the LORD;
I will sing praise to the LORD,
the God of Israel.

LORD, when thou wentest forth out of Seir,
when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom,
the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped,
yea, the clouds dropped water.

The mountains flowed down at the presence of the LORD,
even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael,
the highways were unoccupied,
and the travellers walked through byways.

The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased,
until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

They chose new gods; then was war in the gates:
was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

My heart is toward the governors of Israel,
that offered themselves willingly among the people:
bless ye the LORD.

Tell of it, ye that ride on white asses,
ye that sit on rich carpets,
and ye that walk by the way.

Far from the noise of archers,
in the places of drawing water,
there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD,
even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.
Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.

Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song:
arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

Then came down a remnant of the nobles and the people;
the LORD came down for me against the mighty.

Out of Ephraim came down they whose root is in Amalek;
after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples;
out of Machir came down governors,
and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.

And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
as was Issachar, so was Barak;
into the valley they rushed forth at his feet.
By the watercourses of Reuben
there were great resolves of heart.

Why satest thou among the sheepfolds,
to hear the pipings for the flocks?
At the watercourses of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.

Gilead abode beyond Jordan:
and Dan, why did he remain in ships?
Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,
and abode by his creeks.

Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death,
and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.

The kings came and fought;
then fought the kings of Canaan;
in Taanach by the waters of Meggido:
they took no gain of money.

They fought from Heaven.
The stars in their courses fought against Sisera . *

The river Kishon swept them away,
that ancient river, the river Kishon.
O my soul, march on with strength.

Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings,
the pransings of their strong ones.

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD,
curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof;
because they came not to the help of the LORD,
to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

Blessed above women shall Jael be,
the wife of Heber the Kenite,
blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

He asked water, and she gave him milk;
she brought him butter in a lordly dish.

She put her hand to the nail,
and her right hand to the workmen's hammer;
and with the hammer she smote Sisera,
she smote through his head, yea,
she pierced and struck through his temples.

At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay:
at her feet he bowed, he fell:
where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

Through the window she looked forth, and cried,
the mother of Sisera cried through the lattice,
Why is his chariot so long in coming?
why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

Her wise ladies answered her,
yea, she returned answer to herself,

Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil?
a damsel, two damsels to every man;
to Sisera a spoil of divers colours,
a spoil of divers colours of embroidery,
of divers colours of embroidery on both sides,
on the necks of the spoil?

So let all thine enemies perish,
O LORD: but let them that love him
be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.

And the land had rest forty years.

THE SONG of Deḇorah and Baraq

And on that day Deḇorah and Baraq son of Aḇino‛am sang, saying,

“For leaders leading in Yisra’ĕl, for the people volunteering, bless YAHUAH!

“Hear, O sovereigns! Give ear, O princes! I, I do sing to YAHUAH; I sing praise to YAHUAH Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.

“YAHUAH, when You went out from Sĕ‛ir, when You stepped from the field of Eḏom, the earth shook and the heavens poured, the clouds also poured water.

“The mountains flowed at the presence of YAHUAH, this Sinai, at the presence of YAHUAH Elohim of Yisra’ĕl.

“In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Ya‛ĕl, the highways were deserted, and the travellers went in crooked ways.

“Leadership ceased, it ceased in Yisra’ĕl, until I, Deḇorah, arose – a mother in Yisra’ĕl arose.

“They chose new mighty ones, then fighting was in the gates! Neither a shield nor spear was seen among forty thousand in Yisra’ĕl.

“My heart is towards the lawgivers of Yisra’ĕl, the volunteers among the people. Bless YAHUAH!

“You who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk along the way, declare it!

“By the voice of shouters, between the places of drawing water, there they recount the righteous acts of YAHUAH, the righteous acts of His leadership in Yisra’ĕl; then the people of YAHUAH shall go down to the gates.

“Wake up, wake up, Deḇorah! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Arise, Baraq, and lead your captives away, O son of Aḇino‛am!

“Then He set the remnant to rule the nobles; YAHUAH came down for me against the mighty ones.

“Out of Ephrayim their root is against Amalĕq. After you, Binyamin, with your peoples, out of Maḵir lawgivers came down, and out of Zeḇulun those who handle the scribe’s reed.

“And the heads of Yissasḵar were with Deḇorah. And as Yissasḵar, so was Baraq sent into the valley under his command. Among the divisions of Re’uḇĕn there were great searchings of heart.

“Why did you remain among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? The divisions of Re’uḇĕn have great searchings of heart.

“Gil‛aḏ remained beyond the Yardĕn, and why did Dan remain on ships? Ashĕr continued at the seashore, and remained by its landing places.

“Zeḇulun is a people who risked their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the field.

“Sovereigns came, they fought, then the sovereigns of Kena‛an fought in Ta‛anaḵ, by the waters of Meg̅iddo; they took no spoils of silver.

“From the heavens they fought; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera.

“The wadi of Qishon swept them away, that age-old wadi, the wadi of Qishon. O my being, you have trampled in strength!

“Then stamped hoofs of horses, with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.

‘Curse Mĕroz,’ said a messenger of YAHUAH, ‘curse, curse its inhabitants, because they did not come to the help of YAHUAH, to the help of YAHUAH among the mighty.’

“Blessed above women is Ya‛ĕl, the wife of Ḥeḇer the Qĕynite – above women in tents she is blessed.

“He asked for water, she gave milk; she brought out curdled milk in a bowl for nobles.

“She stretched her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. Then she pounded Sisera, she smashed his head, she pierced and struck through the side of his head.

“Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell – destroyed.

“Through the window the mother of Sisera looked, and cried out through the lattice, ‘Why does his chariot delay to come? Why have the steps of his chariots tarried?’

“The wise ones of her princesses answered her, indeed, she answered herself,

‘Do they not find and divide the spoil: a girl or two for each man; a spoil of dyed work for Sisera, a spoil of dyed work embroidered, dyed work richly embroidered for the necks of the looter?’

“So do all Your enemies perish, O YAHUAH! But let those who love Him be like the sun rising in its might!” And the land had rest forty years.

David’s Song of Deliverance

And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day
when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies,
and from the hand of Saul. He said,


The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge,
my Savior; you save me from violence.

I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.

For the waves of death encompassed me,
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

In my distress I called upon the LORD;
to my God I called.
From His temple he heard my voice,
and my cry came to his ears.

Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked,
because he was angry.

Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.

He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.

He rode on a cherub and flew;
he was seen on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness around him his canopy,
thick clouds, a gathering of water.

Out of the brightness before him
coals of fire flamed forth.

The LORD thundered from heaven,
and the Most High uttered his voice.

And he sent out arrows and scattered them;
lightning, and routed them.

Then the channels of the sea were seen;
the foundations of the world were laid bare,
at the rebuke of the LORD,
at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.

He rescued me from my strong enemy,
from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the LORD was my support.

He brought me out into a broad place;
he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD
and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his rules were before me,
and from his statutes I did not turn aside.

I was blameless before him,
and I kept myself from guilt.
And the LORD has rewarded me
according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness in his sight.

With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you deal purely,
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.

You save a humble people,
but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.

For you are my lamp, O LORD,
and my God lightens my darkness.

For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.

This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD proves true;
He is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

For who is God, but the LORD?
And who is a Rock, except our God?

This God is my strong refuge
and has made my way blameless.
He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure on the heights.

He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your gentleness made me great.

You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip;
I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
and did not turn back until they were consumed.

I consumed them; I thrust them through,
so that they did not rise; they fell under my feet.

For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.

You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

They looked, but there was none to save;
they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.

I beat them fine as the dust of the earth;
I crushed them and stamped them down
like the mire of the streets.

You delivered me from strife with my people;
you kept me as the head of the nations;
people whom I had not known served me.

Foreigners came cringing to me;
as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

Foreigners lost heart
and came trembling out of their fortresses.

The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock,
and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,
the God who gave me vengeance
and brought down peoples under me,
who brought me out from my enemies;
you exalted me above those who rose against me;
you delivered me from men of violence.

For this I will praise you,
O LORD, among the nations,
and sing praises to your name.

Great salvation he brings to his king,
and shows steadfast love to his anointed,
to David and his offspring forever.

[Mayacaman]

Dawid’s * Song * of * Deliverance

Then Dawiḏ spoke to YAHUAH the words of this song, on the day when YAHUAH had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Sha’ul.

And he said, YAHUAH is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer.

My Elohiym is my rock, I take refuge in Him, My shield and the horn of my deliverance, My high tower and my refuge. My Saviour, You save me from violence.

I call on YAHUAH, the One to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

For the waves of death surrounded me, Floods of Beliya‛al made me afraid,

The cords of the grave were all around me; The snares of death were before me.

In my distress I called upon YAHUAH, And to my Elohim I cried. And from His Hĕḵal He heard my voice, And my cry was in His ears.

And the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of the heavens were troubled, Because He was wroth.

Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it.

And He bowed the heavens and came down, And thick darkness was under His feet.

And He rode upon a keruḇ, and flew, And was seen upon the wings of the wind.

And He put darkness around Him as booths, Darkness of waters, thick clouds.

From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled.

YAHUAH thundered from the heavens, And the Most High sent forth His voice.

And He sent out arrows and scattered them, Lightning, and confused them.

And the channels of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of YAHUAH, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, But YAHUAH was my support.

And He brought me out into a large place, He delivered me for He delighted in me.

YAHUAH rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He repaid me.

For I have guarded the ways of יהוה, And have not acted wrongly against my Elohim.

For all His right-rulings are before me; As for His laws, I do not turn from them.

And I am perfect before Him, And I guard myself from my crookedness.

And YAHUAH repays me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.

With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect one You show Yourself perfect,

With the clean You show Yourself clean, And with the crooked You show Yourself twisted.

For You save the humble people, But Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

For You are my lamp, O YAHUAH, And YAHUAH makes my darkness light.

For with You I run against a band, With my Elohim I leap over a wall.

The Ěl – His way is perfect; The Word of YAHUAH is proven; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is Ěl, besides YAHUAH? And who is a rock, besides our Elohim?

Ěl is my mighty stronghold, And He makes my way perfect,

Making my feet like the feet of deer, And sets me on my high places,

Teaching my hands for battle, So that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

And You give me the shield of Your deliverance, And Your lowliness makes me great.

You enlarge my step under me, So that my feet shall not slip.

I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn back till they are destroyed.

And I destroy them and crush them, So that they do not rise, And fall under my feet.

And You gird me with strength for battle, You cause my adversaries to bow under me.

And You make my enemies turn their backs, Those hating me, and I cut them off.

They look but there is no saviour, Unto YAHUAH, but He shall not answer them.

And I beat them as dust of the earth, I beat them small as dirt in the streets – I spread them out.

And You deliver me from the strivings of my people, You safeguard me as the head of the nations; A people I have not known serve me.

Sons of the foreigner submit to me, As soon as they hear they obey me.

Sons of the foreigner fade away, And gird themselves from their strongholds.

YAHUAH lives! And blessed is my Rock! And exalted is my Elohiym, The Rock of my deliverance,

Ěl who avenges me, And bringing peoples down under me,

And bringing me out from my enemies; You raise me up above those rising up against me; You deliver me from a man of violence.

Therefore I give thanks to You, O YAHUAH, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name.

A tower of deliverance is He to His sovereign, And showing kindness to His anointed, To Dawiḏ and his seed, forever.”

[Mayacaman]

The * Song * of * Moses

(Exodus 15)


Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying,


I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

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

The LORD is a man of war;
YAHUAH is his name.

Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea.

The floods covered them;
they went down into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power,
your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.

In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.

At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
the floods stood up in a heap;
the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’

You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;
they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

You stretched out your right hand;
the earth swallowed them.

You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;
you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

The peoples have heard; they tremble;
pangs have seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;
all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

Terror and dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm,
they are still as a stone,
till your people, O LORD, pass by,
till the people pass by whom you have purchased.

You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain,
the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode,
the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.

The LORD will reign forever and ever.


For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea. Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing. And Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.”

( Exodus 15)

Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to Yahuah, and spoke, saying, I sing to Yahuah, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my deliverance. He is my Ěl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and I exalt Him.

Yahuah is a man of battle, Yahuah is His Name.

He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his chosen officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

The depths covered them, they went down to the bottom like a stone.

Your right hand, O Yahuah, has become great in power. Your right hand, O Yahuah, has crushed the enemy.

And in the greatness of Your excellence You pulled down those who rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, it consumed them like stubble.

And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up, the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil, my being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.’

You did blow with Your wind, the sea covered them, they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like You, O Yahuah, among the mighty ones? Who is like You, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders?

You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

In Your kindness You led the people whom You have redeemed, in Your strength You guided them to Your set-apart dwelling.

Peoples heard, they trembled, anguish gripped the inhabitants of Philistia.

Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kena‛an melted.

Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of Your arm they are as silent as a stone, until Your people pass over, O Yahuah, until the people, whom You have bought, pass over.

You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, in the place, O Yahuah, which You have made for Your own dwelling, the set-apart place, O Yahuah, which Your hands have prepared.

Yahuah reigns forever and ever.

For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and Yahuah brought back the waters of the sea upon them. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea.

And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

And Miryam answered them,”Sing to Yahuah, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”

And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah.

And the people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, What are we to drink?

Then he cried out to Yahuah, and Yahuah showed him a tree. And when he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a law and a right-ruling for them, and there He tried them.

And He said, If you diligently obey the voice of Yahuah your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am Yahuah who heals you.

And they came to Ělim, where there were twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.
