Now shall the praises of the Lord be sung;
for He a most renowned triumph won:
both horse and man into the sea He flung:
and them together there hath overthrown.
The Lord is He, whose strength doth make me strong;
and He is my salvation, and my song;
my God, for whom I will a house prepare;
my fathers’ God, whose praise I will declare.
The LORD shall ever and for ever reign:
(His sovereignty shall never have an end)
for, when as Pharaoh did into the main
with chariots and with horsemen down descend,
the Lord did back again the sea recall,
and with those waters overwhelm them all:
but, through the very inmost of the same,
the seed of Israel safe and dryshod came.
