The first Song of Moses (Exod. 13)

Now shall the praises of the LORD be sung;
For, hee a most renowned Triumph wonne:
Both Horse and Man into the Sea he flung:
And them together there hath ouerthrowne.
The LORD is He, whose strength doth make me strong;
And he is my saluation, and my Song:
My GOD, for whom I will a house prepare;
My Fathers GOD, whose prayse I will declare.

Well knowes the LORD, to war what doth pertaine;
The LORD-Almighty is his glorious Name:
He Pharaohs Charrets, and his armed Traine,
Amid the Sea or'ewhelming, ouercame:
Those of his Army, that were most renoun'd,
He hath together in the Red-sea drown'd;
The Deepes, a couering ouer them were throwne,
And to the bottome sunke they like a stone.

LORD, by thy powre thy Right hand famous growes:
Thy Right hand, LORD, thy Foe destroyed hath:
Thy Glory thy Opposers ouerthrowes;
And stubble-like, consumes them in thy wrath.
A blast but from thy nostrils forth did goe,
And vp together did the waters flow;
Yea, rowled vp on heapes; the liquid Flood
Amid the Sea, as if congealed, stood.

I will pursue them (their Pursuer cri'd)
I will or'etake them, and the spoile enioy:
My lust vpon them shalbe satisfi'd:
With sword vnsheath'd my hand shall them destroy.
Then from thy breath a gale of winde was sent;
The billowes of the Sea quite or'e them went:
And they the mighty waters suncke into,
Eu'n as a weighty peece of Lead will do.

LORD, who like thee among the GODS is there!
In holinesse so glorious who may be!
Whose prayses so exceeding dreadfull are!
In doing wonders, who can equall thee!
Thy glorious Right hand thou on high didst reare,
And in the earth they quickly swallow'd were.
But thou in mercy on-ward hast conuay'd
Thy People, whose redemption thou hast paid.

Them by thy strength thou hast bin pleas'd to beare
Unto a holy Dwelling place of thine:
The Nations at report thereof shall feare;
And grieue shall they that dwell in Palestine.
On Edoms Princes shall amazement fall:
The mighty men of Moab tremble shall;
And such as in the land of Cana'n dwell
Shall pine away, of this when they heare tell.

They shalbe ceazed with a dreadfull feare:
Stone-quiet thy Right hand shall make them be.
Till passed ouer, LORD, thy People are;
Till those passe ouer, that were bought by thee.
For, thou shalt make them to thy Hill repaire,
And plant them there (oh LORD) where thou art heire:
Eu'n there, where thou thy Dwelling hast prepar'd;
That Holy place which thine owne hands haue rear'd.

The LORD shall euer and for euer raigne.
(His Soueraignty shall neuer haue an end)
For, when as Pharoh did into the Maine
With Charrets and with horsemen downe descend,
The LORD did backe againe the Sea recall,
And with those waters ouerwhelm'd them all.
But, through the very inmost of the same,
The seed of Israel safe and dry-shod came.
