You divided the [Red] Sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

He leveled a path for His anger [to give it free run];
He did not spare their souls from death,
But turned over their lives to the plague.

He turned the heart [of the Egyptians] to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

The Egyptians rejoiced when they left, because fear of Israel descended on them.

So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy.

He struck the firstborn of the Egyptians
        His love is eternal.
