exodus, the

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;

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 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;

“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed;
you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.” 
(Exodus 15:1-6, 13 ESV)
