The prayer-song of Miriam


Until the Exodus from Egypt, the only life Moses’ sister Miriam had known was as a slave. Once she and the Hebrew people had safely crossed the Red Sea, Miriam not only burst into a song of prayer and praise, she encouraged God’s innumerable people to do the same.

Exodus 15:21 – a prayer-song of Miriam

Sing ye to the Lord,
for he hath triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider
hath he thrown into the sea.

Moses’ prayer of praise


Crossing the Red Sea (or Sea of Reeds), Moses witnessed the power of God as the Lord rescued His people from Pharaoh’s grip and over four-hundred years of slavery in Egypt. In awe and wonder, Moses burst into this praise-filled prayer:


Exodus 15:6, 11, 13, 17-18 – a prayer of Moses

Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power:
thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods?
who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful
in praises, doing wonders?

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people
which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them
in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

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.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

Exodus 15:6, 11, 13, 17-18 – a prayer of Moses

How glorious and powerful is Your hand, O Lord!
Your right hand holds back the enemy.
 
No god among them is like You, Lord,
for You alone are gloriously pure, 
praise-worthy, and able to perform wonders.

You guide Your people whom You have
redeemed by Your faithful love;
With strength, You lead us to holy places.
 
You bring us to the land You possess
and settle us in the place You prepared
for us to dwell.

Lord, Your hands create a sanctuary,
and You will reign forever and ever!
