Ex. 15:1‑18• 1{i}Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to Jehovah, and spoke, saying{/i},{HR}I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously:{HR}The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2Jah is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation.{HR}{i}This is my God, and I will glorify him;{HR}My father's God, and I will extol him.{/i}
3{i}Jehovah is a man of war; Jehovah, his name.{HR}{/i}
4{i}Pharaoh's chariots and his army hath he cast into the sea;{HR}His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.{HR}{/i}
5{i}The depths covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone.{HR}{/i}
6{i}Thy right hand, Jehovah, is become glorious in power:{HR}Thy right hand, Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.{HR}{/i}
7{i}And by the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown thine adversaries:{HR}Thou sentest forth thy burning wrath, it consumed them as stubble.{HR}{/i}
8{i}And by the breath of thy nostrils the waters were heaped up;{HR}The streams stood as a mound;{HR}The depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.{HR}{/i}
9{i}The enemy said, I will pursue,{HR}I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;{HR}My soul shall be sated upon them;{HR}I will unsheath my sword, my hand shall dispossess them.{HR}{/i}
10{i}Thou didst blow with thy breath, the sea covered them;{HR}They sank as lead in the mighty waters.{HR}{/i}
11{i}Who is like unto thee, Jehovah, among the gods?{HR}Who is like unto thee, glorifying thyself in holiness,{HR}Fearful in praises, doing wonders?{HR}{/i}
12{i}Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,{HR}The earth swallowed them.{HR}{/i}
13{i}Thou by thy mercy hast led forth the people that thou hast redeemed;{HR}Thou hast guided them by thy strength unto the abode of thy holiness.{HR}{/i}
14{i}The peoples heard it, they were afraid:{HR}A thrill seized the inhabitants of Philistia.{HR}{/i}
15{i}Then the princes of Edom were amazed;{HR}The mighty men of Moab, trembling hath seized them;{HR}All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.{HR}{/i}
16{i}Fear and dread fall upon them;{HR}By the greatness of thine arm they are still as a stone;{HR}Till thy people pass over, Jehovah,{HR}Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased.{HR}{/i}
17Thou shalt bring them in,{HR}And plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,{HR}In the place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for Thee to dwell in,{HR}In the sanctuary, O Jehovah, which thy hands have established.
18Jehovah shall reign forever and ever. (Ex. 15:1‑18)
Judg. 5:1‑31• 1{i}Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,{/i}
2{i}For that leaders led in Israel,{HR}For that the people willingly offered themselves,{HR}Bless Jehovah!{HR}{/i}
3{i}Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes,{HR}I, even I, will sing to Jehovah;{HR}I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.{HR}{/i}
4{i}Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir,{HR}When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom,{HR}The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped,{HR}Yea, the clouds dropped water.{HR}{/i}
5{i}The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah,{HR}That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.{/i}
6{i}In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael,{HR}The roads were unused,{HR}And the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.{HR}{/i}
7{i}The villages ceased in Israel,{HR}Ceased until that I Deborah arose,{HR}That I arose a mother in Israel.{HR}{/i}
8{i}They chose new gods; then was war in the gates:{HR}Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?{/i}
9{i}My heart is toward the governors of Israel,{HR}Who offered themselves willingly among the people.{HR}Bless Jehovah!{HR}{/i}
10{i}Ye that ride on white she-asses,{HR}Ye that sit on carpets,{HR}And ye that walk by the way, consider.{HR}{/i}
11{i}Because of the voice of those who divide the spoil{HR}In the midst of the places of drawing water;{HR}There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah,{HR}His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel.{HR}Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.{/i}
12{i}Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song!{HR}Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!{HR}{/i}
13{i}Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, as his people;{HR}Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.{HR}{/i}
14{i}Out of Ephraim came those whose root was in Amalek;{HR}After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples.{HR}Out of Machir came down governors,{HR}And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.{HR}{/i}
15{i}And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah;{HR}And Issachar, like Barak;{HR}They were sent into the valley at his feet.{HR}In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart!{HR}{/i}
16{i}Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds,{HR}To hear the bleating of the flocks?{HR}In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart!{HR}{/i}
17{i}Gilead abode beyond Jordan;{HR}And Dan, why did he remain in ships?{HR}Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.{HR}{/i}
18{i}Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto death,{HR}Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.{/i}
19{i}Kings came, —they fought;{HR}Then fought the kings of Canaan;{HR}At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;{HR}They took no spoil of silver.{HR}{/i}
20{i}From heaven was the fight;{HR}The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.{HR}{/i}
21{i}The torrent of Kishon swept them away,{HR}That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.{HR}My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!{HR}{/i}
22{i}Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings,{HR}The coursings of their steeds.{/i}
23{i}Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah;{HR}Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof;{HR}For they came not to the help of Jehovah,{HR}To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.{/i}
24{i}Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,{HR}Blessed above women in the tent!{HR}{/i}
25{i}He asked water, she gave milk;{HR}In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.{HR}{/i}
26{i}She put her hand to the tent-pin,{HR}And her right hand to the workmen's hammer;{HR}And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head,{HR}Shattered and pierced through his temples.{HR}{/i}
27{i}Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down:{HR}Between her feet he bowed, he fell;{HR}Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.{/i}
28{i}Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window,{HR}And crieth through the lattice,{HR}Why is his chariot so long in coming?{HR}Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?{HR}{/i}
29{i}The wise amongst her ladies answer her,{HR}Yea, she returneth answer to herself,{HR}{/i}
30{i}Have they not found, divided the booty,{HR}A damsel, two damsels, to each?{HR}A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera,{HR}A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery,{HR}Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?{/i}
31{i}So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah!{HR}But let them that love him{HR}Be as the rising of the sun in its might.{/i} (Judg. 5:1‑31)
2 Sam. 6:2‑6• 2And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God {i}which is called by the name, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim{/i}.
3And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
4And they brought the ark out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. (2 Sam. 6:2‑6)

36And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly. (2 Chron. 29:28‑30,36)
