1 Den Moses and Israel pipol bigin sing dey praiz God sey,
“Wi go sing to God,
bikos E don give us viktory.
E trow di shariot and doz wey dey ride dem
inside di sea.
2 Na God bi my pawa and Savior.
Dis na my God and I go praiz am.
My grand-grand papa dem God and
I go sing about how E great rish.
3 Awa Oga sabi fight war,
na God bi en name.
4 E trow Fero shariot,
all en sojas and strong ofisas
inside di Red Sea kon kill dem.
5 Di deep sea kover dem;
dem sink go bottom like stone.
6 My Oga God, yor rite hand
get betta pawa
and e skata di enemies to pieces.
7 With yor pawa as King,
Yu don fall doz wey stand to fight Yu.
Yu burn dem like dirty,
bikos Yu dey vex.
8 Yu breath from yor nose
and di wota kon full.
Di river wey dey flow
kon stand like wall
and di part wey deep pass for di sea,
kon strong.
9 Di enemies sey, ‘I go porshu,
katch, divide dia propaty
kon take evritin wey I wont.
I go distroy dem with my swod.’
10 But Yu breath from yor nose
and di sea swallow dem.
Dem sink like stone
inside di big sea.
11 My Oga God!
Who bi like Yu among oda gods?
Who bi like Yu?
Di One wey dey holy,
wey dey do mirakles and great tins?
12 Yu stresh yor rite hand
and di groun swallow dem.
13 With yor true love, Yu go lead di pipol
wey Yu save
and with yor pawa,
Yu go show dem di way
to yor holy land.
14 Oda kountries go hear wetin happen
kon fear Yu;
betta fear go hold Filistia pipol.
15 Den Edom leaders go fear well-well;
di strong men for Moab
go dey shake
and di pawa wey Kanaan pipol get,
go vanish.
16 Betta fear go katch dem
and with yor great pawa,
dem go bi like stone
kon dey fear
until di pipol wey Yu save,
go waka pass.
17 Yu go take dem enter inside di land
kon plant dem for yor mountin;
di place where Yu choose as yor house,
bikos na Yu wey bi my Oga God,
build am as yor own Temple.
18 God go reign forever and ever!
