Exodus 15:8 Context
6Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power, thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemie. 7And in the greatnesse of thine excellencie thou hast ouerthrowen them, that rose vp against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 8And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together: the floods stood vpright as an heape, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the Sea. 9The enemie said, I will pursue, I wil ouertake, I wil diuide the spoile: my lust shall be satisfied vpon them: I will draw my sword, mine hand shall destroy them. 10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea couered them, they sanke as lead in the mighty waters.
