1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
1 ENTONCES cantó Moisés y los hijos de Israel este cántico á Jehová, y dijeron: Cantaré yo á Jehová, porque se ha magnificado grandemente, echando en la mar al caballo y al que en él subía.
2 The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
2 Jehová es mi fortaleza, y mi canción, y hame sido por salud: éste es mi Dios, y á éste engrandeceré; Dios de mi padre, y á éste ensalzaré.
3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
3 Jehová, varón de guerra; Jehová es su nombre.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
4 Los carros de Faraón y á su ejército echó en la mar; y sus escogidos príncipes fueron hundidos en el mar Bermejo.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
5 Los abismos los cubrieron; como piedra descendieron á los profundos.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
6 Tu diestra, oh Jehová, ha sido magnificada en fortaleza; tu diestra, oh Jehová, ha quebrantado al enemigo.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, [which] consumed them as stubble.
7 Y con la grandeza de tu poder has trastornado á los que se levantaron contra ti: enviaste tu furor; los tragó como á hojarasca.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
8 Con el soplo de tus narices se amontonaron las aguas; paráronse las corrientes como en un montón; los abismos se cuajaron en medio de la mar.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
9 El enemigo dijo: Perseguiré, prenderé, repartiré despojos; mi alma se henchirá de ellos; sacaré mi espada, destruirlos ha mi mano.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
10 Soplaste con tu viento, cubriólos la mar: hundiéronse como plomo en las impetuosas aguas.
11 Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
11 ¿Quién como tú, Jehová, entre los dioses? ¿quién como tú, magnífico en santidad, terrible en loores, hacedor de maravillas?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
12 Extendiste tu diestra; la tierra los tragó.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [ which] thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
13 Condujiste en tu misericordia á este pueblo, al cual salvaste; llevástelo con tu fortaleza á la habitación de tu santuario.
14 The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
14 Oiránlo los pueblos, y temblarán; apoderarse ha dolor de los moradores de Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
15 Entonces los príncipes de Edom se turbarán; á los robustos de Moab los ocupará temblor; abatirse han todos los moradores de Canaán.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, [ which] thou hast purchased.
16 Caiga sobre ellos temblor y espanto; á la grandeza de tu brazo enmudezcan como una piedra; hasta que haya pasado tu pueblo, oh Jehová, hasta que haya pasado este pueblo que tú rescataste.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy hands have established.
17 Tú los introducirás y los plantarás en el monte de tu heredad, en el lugar de tu morada, que tú has aparejado, oh Jehová; en el santuario del Señor, que han afirmado tus manos.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
18 Jehová reinará por los siglos de los siglos.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of the sea.
19 Porque Faraón entró cabalgando con sus carros y su gente de á caballo en la mar, y Jehová volvió á traer las aguas de la mar sobre ellos; mas los hijos de Israel fueron en seco por medio de la mar.
20 ¶ And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
20 Y María la profetisa, hermana de Aarón, tomó un pandero en su mano, y todas las mujeres salieron en pos de ella con panderos y danzas;
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
21 Y María les respondía: Cantad á Jehová; porque en extremo se ha engrandecido, echando en la mar al caballo, y al que en él subía.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
22 E hizo Moisés que partiese Israel del mar Bermejo, y salieron al desierto de Shur; y anduvieron tres días por el desierto sin hallar agua.
23 ¶ And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
23 Y llegaron á Mara, y no pudieron beber las aguas de Mara, porque eran amargas; por eso le pusieron el nombre de Mara.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
24 Entonces el pueblo murmuró contra Moisés, y dijo: ¿Qué hemos de beber?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
25 Y Moisés clamó á Jehová; y Jehová le mostró un árbol, el cual metídolo que hubo dentro de las aguas, las aguas se endulzaron. Allí les dió estatutos y ordenanzas, y allí los probó;
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.
26 Y dijo: Si oyeres atentamente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, é hicieres lo recto delante de sus ojos, y dieres oído á sus mandamientos, y guardares todos sus estatutos, ninguna enfermedad de las que envié á los Egipcios te enviaré á ti; porque yo soy Jehová tu Sanador.
27 ¶ And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
27 Y llegaron á Elim, donde había doce fuentes de aguas, y setenta palmas; y asentaron allí junto á las aguas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Not, however, the wood which we read Moses cast into the bitter waters to make them sweet, nor the stone which Jacob used as a pillow, nor the ram which Abraham offered up instead of his son; for these, though they are things, are also signs of other things.

… expression as when we say, "This servitude he served," "such a life he lived." He is here alluding to that well-known hymn, commencing, "I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and the rider hath He thrown into the sea."
